CTER Tuition Scholarship Policy

Each year, starting in January 2009, CTER Tuition Scholarship will be awarded by the Department of Educational Psychology to two newly-admitted cohort members (one in the spring and one in the summer) who are in need of financial assistance and have demonstrated strong academic potential. Tuition will be paid for one course per term for the entire academic year. This award can be renewed for a second year if the student has achieved satisfactory academic performance.

Applicants for the tuition scholarship must be applicants to the CTER program, and must also meet the following requirements:

1. Validate financial need with a Student Aid Report generated after completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
2. Have no waivers or tuition reimbursement (partial or full) provided by employer

In order to keep the tuition scholarship active, the recipient must continue to be enrolled in the CTER program throughout the academic year.
