ECSE Tuition Support Application
Region 10 Low Incidence Projects and the Region 10 Directors of Special Education have set aside funds to support current or prospective teachers in pursuing special education licensure in a variety of special education areas, including Early Child Special Education. This initiative is made possible with a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education using federal funding, CFDA 84.027A, Special Education – Grants
The intent of this tuition support program is to increase the number of available teachers licensed throughout our region. The expectation is that teachers who benefit from this tuition support would then pursue licensure upon completion of course requirements and actively pursue and/or be available for employment in this capacity.
The number of candidates selected for tuition support will depend upon the number of qualified applicants for any given year. Applicants must be either currently in college seeking one of the special education licenses, or currently employed as a teacher in Region 10, and plan on teaching in Region 10. Participants must be enrolled in an approved University program that provides coursework towards licensure. The amount of the award is $150 per graduate credit. Awards will be granted upon completion of the course(s) following submission of proof of enrollment and program of study, as well as required documentation indicating course completion and receipt of paid tuition at the end of the grant’s fiscal calendar year (June).To learn More at: https://region10projects.org/tuition-support/ .
