School of Education Scholarships

The generosity of alumni and friends has enabled the School of Education to distribute approximately $1.9 million in scholarships and awards to deserving undergraduate and graduate students.

Teacher Pledge Program

In order to provide schoolchildren with the best possible education, the School of Education is dedicated to strengthening and diversifying Wisconsin’s teacher workforce. To accomplish this goal, we are pledging to pay the equivalent of in-state tuition and fees, testing, and licensing costs for all of our teacher education students who commit to working at a Wisconsin pre-k to 12th-grade school for three to four years after graduation.

TEACH Grants

Federal TEACH (Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education) Grants are available to teacher education students who are admitted formally to a “high-need” teacher education program and who meet specific academic requirements. You can learn more about the eligibility requirements and application process for TEACH Grants through the links below.

Other Student Financial Support

UW–Madison provides additional short-term financial support for students with unexpected need. A Student Assistance Crisis Loan and The Open Seat food pantry can be valuable resources.
