The Alaska College of Education Consortium is offering scholarships for University of Alaska education students.
Students in their final two years of their studies with at least 60 credit hours and who are going into their year-long teaching internship program are eligible for the scholarship, according to a UA release. Graduate students seeking initial licensure are also eligible.
“This scholarship has allowed me not to work during my student teaching semesters which provides me with time to focus so much more on the classroom,” Jubilee Carroll, an elementary education student, said in the release. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without it.”
The scholarship includes full tuition and a $10,000 living stipend for each full-time internship, according to the release. This is the second year UA has offered the scholarship.
The deadline to apply for the scholarship is April 1. According to the scholarship’s website, priority consideration is given to applicants who are seeking degrees in secondary math or science, or special education. Students with internships in predominantly indigenous schools are also given priority.
