During the 2000-2002 academic years, the Governor’s Teaching Fellowship (GTF) Program awarded $20,000 each to approximately 1,200 prospective teachers, with the intent to create a pool of fully credentialed teachers who would teach for a minimum of four years in low-performing schools. Funding for the GTF program was discontinued in 2002, and no new fellowships are being awarded. The progress of current GTF Fellows is being monitored by the California State University and the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing on a biannual basis.
