Teacher Education Pathway Scholarship

The WSU Teacher Education Pathways initiative covers the cost of tuition and student fees for high school students who enroll in Butler’s ED 206 - Introduction to Teaching course. This funding is limited and will be distributed by the earliest dates of enrollment, so high school students interested in this opportunity are encouraged to enroll as early as possible. In addition, any student who completes the Elementary Education pathway at Butler will be eligible for the $1,000 Shocker Teacher Scholarship if they transfer into the Teacher Apprentice, Elementary Education, or Early Childhood Unified major at WSU. Contact Jacqueline Strunk at jstrunk5@butlercc.edu or 316.323.6296 when enrolling to receive this scholarship.
