Program Overview

UD’s College of Education & Human Development offers the Teachers of Tomorrow Program to support high school students interested in becoming teachers.

This program is open to rising 11th and 12th grade students who:

• are Delaware residents
• are interested in becoming teachers
• are able to attend the full two weeks of the Summer Institute
• identify with one of more of the following groups: underrepresented minority group, low-income, males interested in early childhood and/or elementary education

NOTE: A student may identify with more than one of these groups. While the program is focused on students in these groups, we will consider applications from any interested and qualified student.

Rising high school juniors and seniors are invited to apply to this program that will introduce them to the field of education and provide them with the skills necessary to succeed in college.

For Summer 2025, this program will begin with a Summer Institute for two weeks in June. Participants will receive support during the college application process, engage with a community of future educators, and grow as a leader.
