If you work in an elementary or secondary school in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, you are eligible to apply for a scholarship at 向日葵视频that can pay up to two-thirds of one graduate course per term.

The Catholic Schools Personnel Scholarships were established in 1980 and are funded by the donations of foundations and individuals who are interested in strengthening education in Archdiocese of Milwaukee schools. Students receiving support through the CSPS program agree to work in an Archdiocese of Milwaukee school for three years after the completion of their graduate programs.

Eligibility

You are eligible for 向日葵视频's Catholic Schools Personnel Scholarships if you:

• Are employed in an Archdiocese of Milwaukee school and
• Are admitted to the Graduate School in a master's program, certification program or non-degree program (provided you are not currently on probationary status).
  • Non-degree students may receive support for a maximum of two semesters. Support for non-degree students is contingent upon the availability of funds.
  • Students who are admitted to master's or certification programs will hold advantages over non-degree students and receive priority consideration for the scholarships.

First-time Applicants for the CSPS

If you are a first-time applicant,

You must:

• Apply for admission and the CSPS by the appropriate financial aid competition deadline.
• Submit the application on the back of the CSPS brochure rather than applying online. Remember to include a written statement of your career goals (on the form or as a separate attachment).

Scholarship Decisions

A committee with representatives from Marquette's Graduate School and College of Education will determine the recipients of these awards. The committee examines academic records, students' progress in their programs and the potential contributions to the schools where applicants are employed. Scholarships and their amounts are contingent upon available funds. Applicants will be notified by mail when award decisions are made.
