For educators
Behind every talented kid is someone who saw them first.
A teacher. A coach. A counselor. The person who noticed the spark, built the confidence, and opened a door. The Exponential Educators Fellowship is for them.

What it is
The Fellowship is a significant, unrestricted grant for educators who have a real history of lighting intellectual fires in talented young people across North Carolina. No strings attached.
It’s both a thank-you and an investment — so these champions can keep creating the moments that change young lives.
Why it matters
Students who beat the odds can almost always name one person who went above and beyond — who spotted their talent, challenged them, and pointed them toward something bigger.
We want to honor those people, and set them up to do even more of it.

How it works
This initiative is not currently accepting applications or nominations. This section will be updated when appropriate.
