2020 Teach For India Fellowship program

Deadline: March 1, 2020.

The Teach For India Fellowship program is an opportunity for India’s brightest and most promising youth, from the nation’s best universities and workplaces, to serve as full-time teachers to children from low-income communities in some of the nation’s most under-resourced schools. Through this experience of teaching in classrooms and working with key education stakeholders like students, principals, and parents, our Fellows get exposed to the grassroot realities of India’s education system and begin to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to attain positions of leadership in education and identify their role in building a wider movement for educational equity in the country.

4. They look for diversity in our Fellowship cohort, and their Fellows come from across the country, with varied levels of professional experience — college students, working youth, experienced professionals, and entrepreneurs.

5. Fellows come from over 300 college campuses and companies, from urban and rural India, and from outside of India.

6. Teach For India is looking for potential Fellows who have exhibited academic proficiency, demonstrated leadership, strong organizational skills, hold a graduate degree and are inclined to make a commitment to the community.

7. Students and professionals with a Bachelor’s Degree at the time of joining the Fellowship are invited to apply.
