TEPD is pleased to announce the availability of the 2014-2015 TEPD departmental scholarships for students admitted to CMU’s teacher education program. These scholarships will be awarded in early May 2014 for the 2014-2015 academic year. Recipients will receive a congratulations letter and then a listing of those recipients will be posted on the TEPD website.
The deadline for application is:
Friday, March 21, 2014 at 5:00 pm in EHS 421.

The award amount of each scholarship is based on investment earnings. The value of each scholarship is subject to a lot of variability so TEPD is not able to post dollar values for the scholarships. Exact amounts awarded to recipients will appear on tuition bills.
Application Procedural Change:
The scholarship checklist is no longer required. If you apply before the above deadline your application materials will be considered for all TEPD scholarships for which you are eligible and have submitted appropriate attachments.
