A Scholarship Teaching Program
The Call Me MISTER program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African American male teachers particularly among the State's lowest performing schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The project provides:
- Tuition assistance for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study at participating colleges.
- An academic support system to help assure their success.
- A cohort system for social and cultural support.
“Call Me MISTER” was developed by some of our State’s visionary educational leaders who sincerely believe we can build a better tomorrow by getting you involved today.
Call Me MISTER Participating Colleges
The Call Me MISTER program combines the special strengths and resources of Clemson University with the individualized instructional programs offered by four historically black colleges in South Carolina: Benedict College, Claflin University, Morris College and South Carolina State University. To provide even greater opportunity and access, students have the option of first attending one of our two-year partner colleges before transferring to one of the four-year institutions to complete their baccalaureate degree. In addition, the project has limited enrollment in the middle school Master of Art in Teaching program.
