Financing your training can be tough, but we’ve got your back. Here’s everything you need to know.
If you don’t apply for financial aid, you’ll have to pay for your training out of your own pocket, as it’s due. So why not let Uncle Sam (and some other folks) lend a hand? When you apply for financial aid, you can receive scholarships, grants and loans to help you pay for your undergrad or grad training, so you can focus on what’s truly important: becoming an awesome teacher!
There are five types of financial aid for traditional programs: grants, scholarships, student loans, loan forgiveness and work-study. To learn more about these options, check out About Financial Aid.
In addition to earning scholarships and grants, there are several ways to reduce or eliminate the cost of your training, such as earning a salary while going to school and getting certified while an undergrad.
Scholarship, grant and internship opportunities, including FAFSA, have various deadlines to keep track of. Your educator preparation program might also have a list of aid options available.
One of the easiest ways to apply for aid for undergrad or grad school is through the FAFSA. Most scholarship, grant and internship opportunities offer instructions for applying on their websites. Feel free to contact the financial aid office at the educator preparation program you plan to attend before you apply as well. They can help you determine your eligibility and options for aid, as well as walk you through how to apply.
