The AACTE Holmes Scholars Program supports students pursuing graduate degrees in education at AACTE member institutions. Founded in 1991 for doctoral students, the Holmes Program now provides mentorship, peer support, and professional development opportunities for doctoral students. Learn more about the Holmes Scholars® Program here.
Started in 2023, the JTE-Holmes Scholar Fellowship helps to ensure that the next generation of teacher education scholars are supported as they take on real-world publication demands in the professoriate role. Publication opportunities are vital for doctoral students as they build scholarly credentials, enhance career prospects, develop research and writing skills, contribute to the academic community, and establish professional networks that support their transition from student to independent researcher. The selected candidates will serve as co-guest editors and co-write an editorial or manuscript that will appear in JTE’s special issue on international teacher education in 2027. This opportunity is specifically for Holmes Scholars who would like to learn how to write and publish a piece of quality scholarship in a high-impact academic journal. The JTE leadership team will accept applications until 5 p.m. (CST) on April 7
