$40,000 Scholarships for Science and Math Students

Not everyone has the desire and dedication to become an excellent science or math teacher. But if you do, and you currently have a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Science or Math, you could be one of 25 students to qualify for a tuition scholarship plus a living stipend—up to $40,000 in total—to earn your Master of Arts in Teaching degree at Union Graduate College.

This "Clinically Rich Teacher Preparation Pilot Program" is funded by the New York State Education Department and open to students who qualify for admittance and enroll full-time or part-time in the Union Graduate College Master of Arts in Teaching Program. Funding is scheduled to begin for the fall 2011 term and continue through the 2013-14 academic year. You can apply any time, so we encourage you to contact us today to see if you qualify.

The shortage of high quality science and math teachers

The New York State Education Department created this program to address the ongoing shortage of science and math teachers in urban secondary schools. New York needs high caliber teachers who are committed to teaching at least four years in a city school district. Whether you just graduated from college, or have recently decided to change professions, you can help fill this need while embarking on a rewarding career in teaching.

A program that prepares you for excellence

Union Graduate College offers one of the premier teaching preparation programs in the state. As part of your education, for an entire school year you’ll spend a half day in a secondary school classroom teaching side-by-side with a mentor-teacher. That’s twice the experience of most programs, and equips our students with the skills and confidence to lead their own classrooms when they graduate. Because of the excellent reputation of the Union Graduate College program, our students are in demand; our placement rate is among the highest in New York State.
