RallyUp Teaching Scholarship. Debt-free. Purpose-built.
We pay for college. In return, graduates pledge to teach where they're needed most — in RallyUp-partnered community schools. Priority goes to the 60% of each cohort headed for the classroom; the rest of their career is theirs, no strings.
The Debt Crisis
Debt steers graduates away from the classrooms America needs.
The RallyUp Scholarship
What we cover, and what we ask.
What we cover
What we ask
The teaching pledge: teach in a RallyUp-partnered community school (minimum 3-year commitment after graduation).
Beyond the pledge years, a scholar's career is completely unrestricted — stay, lead a school, move districts, or go build something new.
Repayment only triggers — proportionally, not punitively — if a scholar leaves teaching before fulfilling the pledge.

We build real planning time into the paid day — it's the reason teachers don't burn out.

- 25% Prep, grading, family communication
- 20% Protected planning & professional development

A rounding error in the full model — and it staffs the country's classrooms.
