Evalyn Edwards Milman Literacy and Music Fellowships
The 2024-2025 Milman Applications are now closed. The 2025-2026 application process will begin in March 2025.
The Evalyn Edwards Milman Literacy Fellowship is a financial aid award in the amount of $10,000 and the value of 6 tuition points per academic year for Teachers College students to provide literacy education services for 10 hours per week in TC's partnership schools in Harlem (Teachers College Community School, CS 154 Harriet Tubman Learning Center, or PS 36, The Margaret Douglass School as determined by the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Office of the President, and the REACH Director).
The Evalyn Edwards Milman Music Fellowship is a financial aid award in the amount of $10,000 and the value of 6 tuition points per academic year for Teachers College students to provide music instruction for 10 hours per week at Teachers College Community School or CS 154 Harriet Tubman Learning Center in Harlem.
Students are selected for the fellowships based on the needs of the partnership schools and on students’ experience. Preference is given to TC students enrolled in the literacy specialist program or music education program. Fellowship selections are made by a committee consisting of TCCS and REACH team members in consultation with faculty members from the Curriculum and Teaching department and the Music department.
Students applying for the Evalyn Edwards Milman Literacy or Music Fellowships must be matriculated and enrolled in a minimum of 5 credit hours per semester. Awards are made for one year, but awards may be renewed for subsequent years provided the Fellow continues to meet the eligibility criteria and the needs of the project. The Fellow must establish and abide by a schedule determined together with the sponsor. It is expected that the Fellow will complete ten hours of engagement with students in partnership schools each week. Current full-time TC employees are NOT eligible for the fellowship.
