Who We Are & What We Do  

The Fund for Advancement of Minorities through Education (FAME) is a non-profit organization, making a large impact on the lives of students of color in the Greater Pittsburgh area. FAME was established over 30 years ago to provide need-based scholarships to bright and talented African American students, making a high-quality independent school education possible. FAME also provides its Scholars with an array of supplemental support including tutoring, internships, academic enrichment programs, leadership development, and career awareness workshops. In addition, FAME hosts a summer and Saturday preparatory program for middle school students interested in attending an independent school.

 

At FAME, we love what we do! Every day, we go to work filled with our passion to educate, empower and embolden African American youth to become student ambassadors of today, leaders of tomorrow and stewards of their communities. We are a collaborative group of educators committed to being change agents for educational equity.

What We’re Looking For

As part of the mission to build a black educator pipeline in Western Pennsylvania, we are seeking aspiring educators looking for an opportunity to gain classroom experience and professional development. FAME Fellows will benefit from a comprehensive curriculum provided via an 8-week summer intensive program designed by a cohort of educational advisors to provide undergraduate education students with valuable in-classroom teaching experience to prepare them for high demand teaching roles.
