Greenville County Schools teachers, librarians, counselors, reaching coaches, instructional coaches, and other non-administrative educators working in schools are encouraged to apply. Those working in Title I and OnTrack Greenville schools will receive preference. Applicants must be in good standing with the District. Our goal is a diverse cohort of professionals that represent different levels of experience, both within the school system and as advocates. We are looking for creative, trailblazing individuals!

The fellowship typically begins in October and end in March. Meetings happen once or twice per month, typically on Monday evenings from 5PM-6:30PM at the PEP offices. A final calendar is shared with applicants who are invited to participate to ensure that they can attend most sessions before accepting.

The fellowship is free. Participants will earn a stipend of $1,000 for their participation. All materials will be provided as well.

The cohort will include 10 participants.

Participants will be expected to participate in every session. However, we understand that life throws us curve balls and things come up. As such, participants may miss two sessions and still earn their certificate of completion. We recommend applying to participate in a later cohort if the time commitment doesn’t feel doable at this time.

One to two meetings per month on Mondays from 5PM – 6:30PM at the PEP offices at McAlister Square. Individuals accepted into the cohort will receive a schedule of meeting dates and additional information.

PEP will award a certificate of completion that participants may then submit to the school district as “out of district” professional development. It is up to the school district whether they will accept the certificate of completion.

The application deadline is typically Sept. 1. We are no longer accepting applications for the 2026-27 school year. Please consider applying next year!
