The path to becoming a Scholar

Selection

Golden Apple ensures the quality of Scholars through a rigorous selection process. We look for individuals who exhibit a passion for teaching and potential to succeed in college. Potential scholars must submit four well-written essays, recent transcripts reflecting academic effort, two strong letters of reference, and must interview at the finalist stage. Additionally, we look for individuals who have shown an interest in community outreach and extracurricular activities (tutoring, teaching, coaching, babysitting, etc.).

Preparation

While attending college, Scholars receive advanced teacher preparation during four Summer Institutes that provide in total more than three times the amount of classroom experience prior to student teaching than non-Scholars receive.
