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 diversifying the field of educators. There are several ways to qualify, and it only takes one of these options:

1. Choose a high-needs teaching area as your major. It could be mathematics, life science/biology, chemistry, physics, Spanish, English, or music education.
2. If you prefer to major in elementary education, or a secondary field not listed, you will add a teaching English as a second language (TESL) minor or pursue a license addition in special education
3. If you are an education major identified as underrepresented in the field of teaching (e.g., African American, Latinx, English as a second language, or male interested in elementary education).
