UE Teaching Fellows Scholarship Program
“This scholarship allowed me the financial opportunity to join Greek Life to grow my connections and networks further than I ever thought possible. Additionally, the Teaching Fellows Scholarship gave me the chance to graduate debt free, so I can spend the time and money that I saved on my classroom to benefit my students’ education.”
-Alexa Butler ’21
The University of Evansville School of Education will be selecting 10 high school seniors admitted to UE as Teaching Fellows Scholarship recipients. These Fellows receive a combination of aid in both junior and senior years* at UE that is equivalent to covering full-time tuition for two years! This means that 12-18 credit hours during fall and spring are covered by the scholarship/aid package each of those semesters.
Who should apply?
High school seniors who want to major in education at the University of Evansville.
This scholarship is focused on attracting bright future teachers in high needs areas and expanding the field of educators. There are multiple ways to qualify, and it only takes one of these options:
- Choose a high-needs teaching area as your major.
- If you select a major that is not high needs, preference is given to students who add a teaching English as a second language (TESL) minor, a Reading minor or pursue a license addition in special education.
