Background
The SCU Future Teachers Project (FTP) was established in 1995 in an effort to provide college-preparatory programming and support to students who want to become teachers in urban and under-served communities. In June 2000, our first seven FTP students graduated from Santa Clara University.
We have over 100 graduates who are working as teachers throughout Silicon Valley, the Bay Area, and beyond.
Our goals
- Recruit students who are committed to becoming teachers in urban communities
- Provide financial, academic, and social support for college students
- Provide opportunities to discuss and be directly engaged in teaching
- Prepare students for their credential and first teaching position
