How to Get a Teaching Scholarship in North Carolina

For North Carolina students who are planning on becoming teachers, there are three scholarship programs to look into. The North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program, North Carolina Millennium Teacher Scholarship Loan Program and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program. The Teaching Fellows Program is merit based, while both the Millennium Teacher Scholarship and the TEACH Grant Program are merit/need based. All three programs have limited numbers of scholarships available and all are very competitive.
