Project SUPPORT is a federal grant aimed at increasing the number of Latinx teachers in our Educator Preparation Pathways at CSUSM, thereby eventually increasing the number of Latinx teachers in public K-12 schools in North San Diego County. The program responds to the critical need for diversifying the teacher workforce by supporting talented Latinx students and professionals to pursue teaching careers.
The Project SUPPORT Scholarship Award for Latinx Pre-Service Teacher Candidates is
now open. This award is applicable towards support for expenses related to Pre-Service
Teacher Exams (CSET, CBEST), Fingerprinting and Certificate of Clearance application
to CTC, and Teacher Assessments (RICA and CalTPA ). You may submit an application
for scholarship at various points upon completion of each of the aforementioned expenses.
However, you may only be awarded for each expense one time. For example, if you find
that you have to retake one of the assessments or exams, you may not submit for scholarship
towards the retake.
Important Note: You may only apply for scholarship while you are in the program and an enrolled student
as CSUSM. You must also attend an advising session prior to receiving a scholarship.
Eligibility for Project SUPPORT Scholarship Award:
You must attend an advising session with one of our Education Career Specialists in order to receive an award. We offer open group advising sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12:00-1:00pm in UH431, and accept individual advising session requests Monday-Friday from 7:30am-4:00pm. Click here to make an individual advising appointment request with Rachael and/or here to make one with David. Your scholarship application will remain pending until you have completed an advising session.
