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.
