SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UA CALT OFFERED BY SCOTTISH RITE FOUNDATION OF ALABAMA
The Scottish Rite Foundation of Alabama will be supporting Cohort 6! These limited and very competitive scholarship awards come from the Scottish Rite Foundation directly to support ALABAMA educators committed to staying and teaching in Alabama. The scholarship application is separate from the UA CALT application. You will not be considered for the scholarship connected to UA CALT if you have not applied to UA CALT and been accepted. Therefore, letters of acceptance will include a link to the scholarship application.
OTHER FUNDING SOURCES
We continue to seek funding for additional students and will post information and email those who have applied if funds become available. Some school districts may have funds available to support teachers who would like to earn CALP or CALT certification. We encourage you to talk with your administration!
Since UA CALT is not a degree program, financial aid through the University is not available.
