Tom Joyner Foundation Teacher Quality Initiative

The Teacher Quality Initiative is a national program intended to increase the number of well-prepared teachers for high-poverty schools through innovative education preparation and scholarships to cover all tuition and fees each semester. We currently have implemented several teacher quality initiatives. Each initiative provides scholarships to cover all tuition and fees after federal grants (PELL, Work-study, and TEACH) have been applied. The links below provide more information about each partnership. For additional information, please email your questions to:
