Applications are open for Chicago Public Schools’ (CPS) Teach Chicago Tomorrow program, a structured pathway for CPS graduates who want to return to the District as educators. CPS hires approximately 140 CPS graduates as teachers each year, and through Teach Chicago Tomorrow the District has set a long-term goal to triple the number of CPS grads hired annually to more than 500. Teach Chicago Tomorrow, established in 2020, is a partnership between CPS, City Colleges of Chicago (CCC), and Illinois State University (ISU). All students accepted into Teach Chicago Tomorrow are eligible for scholarships from City Colleges of Chicago and Illinois State University. The S.E.E.D. Scholarship (Supporting Emerging Educators Development) covers most, if not all, City Colleges tuition, books, and class materials. It will offer up to $3,000 in individual scholarship dollars each year. CPS will also provide additional financial support through stipends of at least $1,500 for students who participate in the full eight-week Teach Chicago Tomorrow summer bridge program for CPS graduates heading into their first year of college. Interested students can apply by submitting an interest form (Click “Get Started”): teach.cps.edu/teach-chicago-tomorrow. Early decision application deadline is Friday, February 18.
