Call Me MISTER – Go to College for FREE!

Do you know any black males who are seniors in high school who want to go to college out of state for free? Several historically black colleges are looking for future black male teachers and will send them to college for four years at no charge.

The “Call Me MISTER” program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African American male teachers, particularly among South Carolina’s lowest-performing public schools. Program participants are selected from among underserved, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.

The Call Me MISTER program combines the special strengths and
resources of Clemson University with the individualized instructional
programs offered by four historically black colleges in South Carolina:
Benedict College, Claflin University, Morris College, and South
Carolina State University.

To provide even greater opportunity and access, students have
the option of first attending one of our two-year partner colleges
before transferring to one of the four-year institutions to complete
their baccalaureate degree. In addition, the project has limited
enrollment in the middle school Master of Arts in Teaching program.

The project provides tuition for admitted students pursuing
approved programs of study at participating colleges, an academic
support system to help assure their success, and a cohort system for
social and cultural support.
