College announces new scholarship for aspiring educators
The Become a Teacher scholarship program offers $2,500 in scholarship funds awarded at $625 per six-month term for up to four terms and an additional $1,500 stipend during student teaching.
In a news release, the university clarified that the funds can be applied toward any of its education degree programs aimed at earning a teaching license.
“Students will benefit from hands-on, in-classroom observation and student teaching experiences at a nearby school during their program. WGU will help arrange the in-classroom experience, an opportunity that our graduates consistently call invaluable in preparing them to lead their own classrooms,” the release states.
In addition to the scholarship, recipients receive a refurbished laptop, complete with a webcam. The scholarship will cover the cost of installing and accessing the internet for students who don’t have it.
