UTeach South Scholarship

 

To remove barriers associated with obtaining a certificate for teaching science or mathematics in the State of Alabama, UTeach South offers scholarships in addition to the scholarships for the initial introductory courses, EDU 125 Step 1 Inquiry Based Learning and EDU126 Step 2 Inquiry Based Lesson Design! 

We will be awarding scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.
