New Jersey Student Teacher Scholarships

Eligibility
About this scholarship
New Jersey residents (at least 12 consecutive months, or meeting alternative residency rules such as graduating from a New Jersey high school) enrolled in an approved Educator Preparation Program (EPP) while pursuing a Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS), placed in a New Jersey public or eligible private school for full-time clinical practice, and in good academic standing may receive the HESAA Student Teacher Scholarship (Clinical Intern Stipend).
The award provides up to $4,500 for living expenses during one academic semester of full-time clinical practice.
Clinical interns do not submit an individual application. If eligible, your EPP field director submits your name on a roster to HESAA after the institution's add/drop deadline for the fall or spring term.
HESAA funds the stipend so educator-preparation students can complete required practical training in New Jersey schools.
