Spring Tuition Awards Available for Special Education Teachers
Limited spring tuition awards are available for special education teachers working toward
meeting provisional license requirements. Under this tuition program, employed
bachelor-level special education teachers with a provisional license may receive the
actual cost of tuition for one approved spring course to cover up to $140 per semester
hour as long as they earn a final grade of "B" or higher. If the tuition is above the $140
per semester hour rate, it will be the responsibility of the recipient to pay the difference.
These awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis as long as federal grant funds
