The School of Education at the University of Colorado at Boulder has awarded 18 scholarships to individuals who met specific criteria for academic merit, commitment to teaching, effectiveness in teaching and financial need.
The Adopt-A-Teacher program provides scholarships of $1,000 and is intended especially for students during their student-teaching semester when they must pay full tuition but cannot work because they are student teaching full-time.
Adopt-A-Teacher scholarships also support veteran teachers returning to complete a master聮s degree as part of the professional Enrichment Program, which 抖阴短视频-Boulder offers in conjunction with its six partnership school districts.
Some scholarships were designated for specific areas of study such as social studies and English education or bilingual and multicultural education.
