Scholarships Available

This summer, UNI's College of Education is offering scholarships to support teachers who are seeking licensure in select endorsement and graduate certificate programs. Whether you’re looking to specialize in a certain subject area, advance your credentials, or expand your teaching practice, the Empower Educators Scholarship is designed to help make your goals more attainable. This dedicated scholarship will offset the cost difference of graduate-level coursework and undergraduate tuition.

Apply for the scholarship

Stack your certificate into a master's degree.

Our Transformative Education program is just the beginning - this graduate certificate can be applied to the Transformative Education Master of Arts in Education degree. After you complete your first certificate, our Student Success Specialist can connect you with two additional certificate programs, allowing you to earn your master's degree in a way that fits your goals and schedule. Contact us to learn more. (UPDATED)
