Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship Amount, Length, And Intervals

OF PAYMENT. (1) The Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship shall be $5,000 per academic year (nine (9) months). However, the amount received cannot exceed the cost of attendance. A scholarship awarded under this part shall not be reduced on the basis of the student’s receipt of other forms of federal student financial assistance, but shall be taken into account in determining the eligibility of the student for those other forms of federal student financial assistance. (2) The recipient must attend on a full-time basis in courses which are creditable toward the recipient’s degree and/or teacher certification during the time for which he/she received the award, as determined by the written policies of the institution being attended. At least two semesters, or the equivalent, of attendance is required for each year to remain eligible. (The cost of summer school enrollment periods will not be covered by the award.) (3) A recipient who does not maintain satisfactory progress according to the standards of the institution being attended shall not be eligible to continue in the program after the academic year in which such unsatisfactory progress was achieved. (4) Recipients in a baccalaureate program may be eligible for awards for up to eight (8) semesters or twelve (12) quarters. Those in an associate degree program are eligible for up to four (4) semesters or six (6) quarters. Subject to the aggregate limit of eight (8) semesters of awards, students pursuing graduate studies required to receive their initial teacher certification may receive $2,500 for each semester of full-time enrollment.
