“Smart, dedicated teachers are working hard every day to make our public schools a success,” said Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp. “The We Teach Texas Leadership Fellow Scholarship is how we can recognize and grow our own local talent.”
The Texas A&M University System has been providing highly qualified teachers for Texas Schools for more than 100 years by encouraging consideration of teaching careers, growing the highest quality teacher and leadership programs, and providing ongoing quality support to boost retention in the field.
