About the Program . Seton Teaching Fellows (STF) is an initiative of Seton Education Partners, participating in its mission to serve underprivileged children and give them the opportunity to develop the knowledge, character, and faith necessary to earn a college degree, pursue lives of value and integrity, and become saints.  Seton Teaching Fellows is a post-graduate mission opportunity that seeks to bring the Catholic faith to the margins of American society. A fellow helps students, their families, and peers know, love, and serve Christ and his Church, developing the habits, dispositions, and beliefs indispensable to human flourishing and happiness.
