Congratulations to Alexis Epkins who was been named as an Illinois Golden Apple Scholar for the Class of 2019. The Golden Apple Scholars of Illinois Program is a prestigious multi-year teacher preparation and scholarship program that selects exceptional students who aspire to be teachers in Illinois schools-of-need.
In return for a commitment to serve for five years in an Illinois school-of-need, Scholars receive academic support throughout college, tuition assistance, residential Scholar Institutes which include first-hand classroom experiences, job placement assistance, and mentoring during the first years of teaching.
Golden Apple Scholars graduate at high rates and STAY in teaching, with 82% who excel as teachers in schools-of-need for five or more years. Importantly, Principals say that Golden Apple Scholars are better prepared to teach on Day 1 than those prepared by any other program.
