ACT Fellowship & ELIGIBILITY
The ACT offers Fellowship positions for Teacher Resident candidates from backgrounds currently under-represented in teaching. Beyond the stipend and housing, course books, and mentorship offered to all Teacher Residents, those who are awarded an ACT Fellowship will receive financial aid equaling half the cost of tuition of the MAT program at Pacific University, as well as ongoing support and mentorship throughout two years of graduate study and during the first teaching position held after completing the program.
Teacher Resident candidates are eligible for the fellowship if they:
are accepted to the Arbor Center for Teaching Residency through Pacific University
have a background currently under-represented in the teaching profession
have a strong liberal arts background and high academic achievement
