TEAK is no longer accepting applicants for the 2009-2010 school year.
TEAK's application process begins in October each year. Through a comprehensive six-month process, applicants participate in several rounds of screening that include a financial assessment, diagnostic tests, a written application, and interviews. TEAK's five-year Fellowships are awarded based on both academic merit and financial need.
Qualified candidates MUST:
Be enrolled in the SEVENTH grade at the time of their application
Attend a PUBLIC or PAROCHIAL school in one of the five boroughs of NYC
Earn 3s & 4s or 90% AND ABOVE in all grades and on tests
Come from families WITH FINANCIAL NEED
Provide proof of academic merit and income
Be citizens or permanent residents of the United States
Each spring, TEAK accepts 30 students into the Fellowship. They begin attending the Spring Intensive in May, participate in the Summer Institute following their seventh and eighth grade school years, and begin the High School Placement process by attending after-school and Saturday activities during their eighth grade school year. Fellows enter the Post-Placement program during high school and continue their Fellowship until they go to college.
If your child is in the 7th grade or below, and you would like additional information on how to apply to TEAK, please call the TEAK Admissions Inquiry line at (212) 288-6678 x290 or fill out the Admissions Info Request Form.
