Science Coaches 2022–2023
Coach Application

Are you looking for the Teacher Application?

Thank you for your interest in the Science Coaches program!

Please complete the form below to apply for the 2022–2023 school year.

The program is for US participants only. Former or retired teachers, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, professors, or other industry professionals are eligible to apply as coaches. (Current K–12 teachers and undergraduate students may not serve as coaches.) You may not share finances with your teacher partner.

If you have a teacher in mind, please enter the name and email address they will use in their application when asked for your teacher partner's information. Each teacher can only participate formally in this program with one coach and vice versa. For more details about the program requirements and benefits, please visit the Science Coaches website.

Important Dates

Phase 1: Applications are open. Applications received by June 1 will be reviewed, and selected partnerships will be notified in July. If you do not hear from us in July, we will try to find you a partner in Phase 2.
Phase 2: The final deadline is September 1. If you are not matched in Phase 1, or if you apply after June 1, we will review your application and will notify you of your status by October 3.
Note: Applicants are not guaranteed program participation.

Application Timeline

This program has a two-phase application and program acceptance timeline. Other than being able to start your partnership earlier in the year, there is no difference, whether you are notified in Phase 1 or Phase 2, to program benefits or requirements.
