Scholarships

Each academic year the Department of Teacher Education & Professional Development is able to offer a number of scholarships to students admitted to Teacher Education. In early February, criteria for eligibility and selection, instructions, and application materials are posted on this website. Awards are made for the following academic year.

A TEPD faculty committee reviews the applications and sends recipient recommendations to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid reviews the recommendations to verify eligibility. Recipients are then informed by an email letter they are being recommended for a scholarship. A recipient list will also be posted on this website.

Students interested in pursuing TEPD scholarships should first read the Criteria for Scholarships (sample) thoroughly, this list describes the criteria and eligibility requirements for each scholarship. Students cannot be admitted to the Teacher Education Program until they complete at least 45 credit hours of coursework.
