The College of Education Winter Quarter 2025 Student Teaching & Internships Scholarship will be opened today, Wednesday, January 8. The opportunity will be open from 1/8-1/26. This application is identical to the one from this past fall quarter, as well as the 2023-2024 academic year’s opportunities.

Any students who are currently doing their student teaching or required internship/field experience DURING Winter Quarter 2025 are eligible for this scholarship. Student teachers, counseling interns, and ed leadership interns are welcome to apply for this opportunity. Counseling interns are only eligible to be awarded during one quarter of their year-long internship – they will not be awarded more than once even if they apply more than once. As a reminder, AUSL students are NOT eligible for this opportunity due to the tuition discount they receive through the program.

Awards range on a scale of $350-$3,000 depending on each individual student’s financial need as determined by financial aid and their FAFSA.

Please see attached a flyer with the information about the scholarship. Here is the link to the application and the description: https://depaul.academicworks.com/opportunities/51453
