GMU - Educators Without Borders Scholarship

George Mason University's Graduate School of Education is pleased to announce a scholarship opportunity for prospective teachers. The Educators Without Borders (EWB) project aims to recruit, support, and mentor individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups entering the field of early intervention. The project will build on the successes of an ongoing preservice program that prepares educators to work with culturally and linguistically diverse young children with low incidence disabilities. Individuals receiving funding are provided training to work with infants, toddlers, and children with low-incidence disabilities, including all children receiving early intervention services. Students who are awarded an EWB Fellowship must agree to work with children with low-incidence disabilities, including children receiving early intervention services, for two years for each year of funding. Students applying for the EWB funding, must be enrolled in the UTEEM program at George Mason university; be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident; sign a certification of commitment; maintain satisfactory progress toward completion of the UTEEM program; participate in EWB seminars and mentoring program; fulfill the requirements of service obligation (2 years for each year of funding); provide GMU and UTEEM faculty all requested information upon graduation to determine progress in meeting service obligation; notify GMU and UTEEM faculty of changes in address, employment setting, or employment status during the period of service obligation. Complete the application and submit the original as soon as possible.
