A limited number of TALCA Project scholarships are available through a USDOE Title III grant each
year to students who have submitted an approved program of study
that includes the TELL certificate program requirements. There are
three components to the scholarships as described below:
Tuition remission
Tuition remission is awarded for the two
required TELL courses (ED 346 and ED 621). The tuition
remission funds are awarded when TELL scholarship recipients
enroll in the courses: Funds are applied directly to student accounts
following the add/drop period of each semester.
Paid Internship
TELL scholarship recipients have the option of participating in a paid
internship during the fall in coordination with their pre-practicum
experience. Interns work 3 days per week in the partner schools. Click for detailed information about
