Ready to find out what °®ŇşAƬ can do for you? We’ve got you covered.
°®ŇşAƬ is one of 12 institutions nationwide to receive funding from the Hawkins grant, which aims to support potential teachers from historically under-served populations by expanding teacher-preparation programs.
°®ŇşAƬ will use a portion of the grant to provide 15 scholarships per semester to paraprofessionals working in Denver Public Schools Designated Qualifying Schools where more than 70% of students are eligible for free and reduced lunch and over 80% “minority” population (per Colorado Department of Education).
Scholarships are for potential °®ŇşAƬ School of Education students with historically under-served identities (i.e. students who identify as racially/ethnically diverse, LGBTQ, first-generation college students, and/or students with disabilities).
Scholarships amounts are based on a sliding scale (depending on number of credits per semester)​. To qualify for a scholarship, students must declare interest in a School of Education undergraduate major on their °®ŇşAƬ application.​
To receive the Bilingual Specialist amount, students must declare interest in a School of Education undergraduate major on their application and enroll in a Bilingual Education Specialist course taught in Spanish.
| Credits per semester | Education major only | Education major + bilingual specialist |
|---|---|---|
| 6 to 8 | $500 | $1,000 |
| 9 to 11 | $1,550 | $2,000 |
| 12 to 14 | $2,500 | $3,250 |
| 15 to 18 | $3,200 | $3,950 |
