School of Education Scholarship Application 

Undergraduate students who wish to apply for School of Education Scholarships can do so by completing the School of Education Scholarship Application. The annual scholarship application is currently closed.

Students must use their SPU credentials to apply. Students should be able to demonstrate financial need and elaborate on their position as outlined in the application. Criteria for consideration are as follows:

  • For undergraduates: be admitted to the School of Education as a teacher certification candidate.
  • Be enrolled at least half time each quarter during the academic year.
  • Maintain all student requirements for continuation in the program.
  • Demonstrate financial need.

The School of Education Scholarship Committee awards scholarships based on available funds, which varies from year to year. Students may receive only one award per academic year. Award priority will be given to students who have not yet received SOE Scholarship funds. Awarded funds are allocated quarterly, and any exceptions to the allocation schedule are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact the Associate Director for Graduate Programs with any questions.

Why I Teach at SPU

Scott Beers, Assistant Dean, Graduate Programs

"I have long believed that I am called to teach. Challenging students with new ideas and creating activities that help them learn is a life-giving experience for me. I aim to inspire and equip my students to help children become better readers and writers. It is a privilege to teach SPU students who will dramatically improve the lives of young people."
