Each academic year the Department of Teacher Education & Professional Development offers a number of scholarships to students who have been admitted to the Teacher Education program. In early February, criteria for eligibility and selection, instructions, and an application are posted on this website. Awards are made for the following academic year.
A TEPD faculty committee reviews each application 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 email that they are being recommended for a scholarship. A recipient list will also be posted on this website.
Students cannot be admitted to the Teacher Education program until they complete at least 30 credit hours of coursework.
