  3. You will receive individual career counseling during your senior year of college and personal introductions to partners if you are interested in teaching professionally.
  4. Your college may provide work study funding or course credit for your fellowship. If accepted, please discuss this option with your city director.
  5. You will develop relationships with students, colleagues, coaches, and leaders that will stay with you for years to come.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who are my students?

You will teach rising fifth-, sixth-, seventh-, or eighth-grade students from our district and charter partner schools. Our students enroll voluntarily and have a wide range of academic preparation.

Who will my colleagues be?

You will learn and teach alongside 31 other undergraduate and high-school fellows from across the city and country, all selected through a competitive application process and committed to educational equity.

How big are my classes?

You will teach two academic classes of 6 – 12 students and two elective classes of 6 – 12 students.

What are the hours?

The hours are 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Three pre-scheduled evening events extend until 8:30 p.m.; these events are Student & Family Orientation, Teach Local Night, and Wrap-Up Night.

Do I need to pursue an education major or minor to apply?

No! Our summer teaching fellows come from a range of majors; this may be the first time you’re considering teaching.

Am I eligible to apply?

You are eligible if you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. You are eligible to apply if you are an undocumented or DACA student; our summer teaching fellowship is not a job, and it does not require employment eligibility verification.

Do I need to submit official transcripts?

No, please submit unofficial transcripts unless you have official transcripts readily available. We do not want you to spend money securing transcripts for your application. If you do not have easy access to unofficial transcripts, please feel free to submit screenshots of your grades from your college portal.

Where is the program located?

Our in-person and hybrid programs are hosted by our district and/or charter partners, including Boston charter schools, Denver Public Schools, Holyoke Public Schools, and Providence Public Schools.

My college offers summer internship funding. Can GT sign my paperwork to confirm I have completed the program and met the requirements?

Yes! We are happy to help you with your paperwork. GT will not duplicate external funding, but we are happy to support you in securing a larger scholarship from another source.

Can I submit separate applications to to Boston, Denver, Providence, and Western MA?

Please submit only one application. You will be asked to indicate your preferred city and whether you would like to be considered for other cities.

I don’t live in the cities GT serves, but I really want to teach. Do you provide housing?

We do not provide housing. We encourage you to connect with local fellows to identify summer housing options.

What happens after I submit my application?

We will review your application and invite promising candidates to a virtual interview. You will have your decision within four weeks of the application deadline. You will have three days to decide whether to enroll.
