Exclusive Opportunity with Competitive Benefits
To help address the shortage of teachers in Connecticut, Quinnipiac has been awarded a $127,500 grant from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Education Workforce Development program. As the only graduate program in the state to receive this funding, this groundbreaking partnership allows for students to work a paid position while earning their MAT and gain hands-on experience working in the classroom under the mentorship of skilled teachers.
This funding supports students in the MAT program by offering:
- Apprentice roles in partnering school districts
- A salary stipend paid while gaining classroom experience as a full-time teaching apprentice
- A significant reduction in tuition
