Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program (METP)
Description
The Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program (METP) is a collaboration between the Ole Miss and Mississippi State to attract top-performing students to an innovative new teacher education program using one of the most valuable scholarships ever offered in the state.
Our goal is to train new secondary English, mathematics, and science – as well as elementary and special education – teachers for Mississippi. Each METP fellow makes a five-year commitment to teach at a Mississippi public school after graduation. METP is offered jointly at both Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi. It is designed to attract top-performing students into teaching with the nation's most valuable education scholarship. Competitive applicants are expected to have an ACT composite score of 28 or a SAT score of 1250, and a high school GPA of at least 3.5. All METP fellows make a five-year commitment to teach in a Mississippi public school after graduation.
