Teach FORWARD Campaign
During this time of appreciation for teachers, pay it FORWARD by supporting future EdTerp Teachers! The Teach FORWARD fund supports teaching certification students at the College of Education who are in their internship year.The internship year comes with many additional costs that can hinder and even end a future educator's dreams of completing their degree. These additional costs include:
- Certification and state exam fees: $480
- Travel costs to campus and placement sites: $600
- Professional attire: $200
- Classroom incentives: $100
- Tuition, room and board, and fees: $10K+ classes alone
Help us reduce these financial barriers by reducing the cost of tuition for our EdTerp future teachers! A gift at any level makes a big difference.
