About the Program:
ßÏÀÖÔ° is proud to announce the launch of our 2022 College Readiness Through Civic Engagement initiative, which is a Knowledge For Freedom Program funded by the Teagle Foundation. This program will offer rising high school seniors from ßÏÀÖÔ°'s 41-county service area an opportunity to engage in engaging discussions, critical reading, and service learning projects that deepen Teagle Fellows' understanding and appreciation of civics through the humanities and social sciences. Students will also experience college life, build connections with ßÏÀÖÔ° professors and peer mentors, and gain familiarity with the university environment to ensure future success. For those admitted, this is a fully funded opportunity to live and learn at ßÏÀÖÔ° for three weeks in the summer. Eligibility requirement could be simply: (1) Rising high school seniors and (2) students from ßÏÀÖÔ°’s 41-county service region.
Teagle Fellow candidates are:
- Students who are first-generation college students
- Students who have an interest in the humanities and social sciences
- Students who are passionate about life's big questions and reading challenging materials
- Students who want to improve their academic writing
- Students who are excited about experiencing college-life on ßÏÀÖÔ°'s beautiful campus, participating in ßÏÀÖÔ°'s vibrant community, and making an impact on your community
