Fellowship Opportunities for 2024-2025

Frequently-Asked Questions About Fellowships

Many schools and districts offer fellowships for student teachers. These fellowships provide financial support to student teachers during the practicum in exchange for additional duties within the school and working the full school year, five days per week (excluding holidays) from late August to late June. Some districts provide a stipend paid directly to the student teacher, others pay for tuition & fees (up to 18 credits) and some employ practicum fellows as paraprofessionals, long-term substitute teachers or classroom teachers. For more information and instructions about applying, please click on the link for your program below and see Frequently-Asked Questions About Fellowships. The fellowship application link will be posted on this site in February.
