Help support our student teachers as they complete their capstone experience during their student teaching residency.
Student teachers devote 16 weeks full-time, without pay, to become certified teachers. This is a transition semester between college and work that allows the student teacher to focus on teaching as a profession while still under the guidance of mentors.
The College of Education urges student teachers to prepare for the final semester of the program by planning to focus 100% of their time and effort on the residency experience. Because they don't work an outside job during this semester, they often need help with moving and living expenses- this is where you can help!
Alicia Chamberlain, College of Education class of '21, says, "The contribution of $500 was very helpful. Scholarships like this ease the mind and allow a person to focus on what is really important, and that is finishing their degree. I was placed in a high school biology classroom and at a Junior High for my student teacher residency. I was just hired to be a science teacher in a junior high!"
Please consider supporting our future teachers during this crowdfunding campaign. Thank you for funding our future educators!
