Funding options include: 

$22,000 – Student Educator Stipends – Colorado Department of Higher Education 

• This annual stipend for SEHD teacher candidates compensates for clinical internship expenses. You must complete the FAFSA or CAFSA and your expected family contribution (EFC) cannot exceed 300% of the maximum federal limit to be eligible for PELL grants. Students in teacher licensure programs are automatically considered for the stipend. If you do not meet the EFC criteria, students are encouraged to submit an appeal.

$10,000 – Educator Recruitment and Retention Program – Colorado Department of Education 

• Teacher candidates who have earned BA degrees may apply for up to $10,000 in one-time financial assistance toward university costs. You must commit to teaching in a shortage area for three years in a Colorado public school.
