The Teacher Diversity Program Grant

This program exists to help address the shortage of underrepresented groups in the teaching profession, to nurture teachers who embrace diversity as an instructional tool, and to help Milligan secure the mission-based educational benefits of a diverse student body.

Who is eligible to apply?
Undergraduate or graduate teacher education students are eligible to apply. Applicants must sufficiently demonstrate a commitment to diversity as an instructional tool.

Categories of potential teacher education students include teacher aides, substitute teachers, college graduates pursuing initial teacher licensure, and ex-military personnel.

What funds are available?
Grant awards are available for up to seven (7) students. Award amounts vary based on financial need and fund availability and can be used for tuition and fee assistance, textbook and classroom materials, Praxis test fees, professional association fees, funds to attend professional conferences, and personal support stipends.

This project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee. Awards are made on a rolling basis, so early application is strongly encouraged.

Awards are annually renewable if the student maintains a minimum 2.5 college GPA, makes satisfactory progress toward completion of a degree objective, and complies with the following regulations: be a good citizen on campus; represent the school in a dignified and respectable manner; and comply with all moral and lifestyle expectations as set forth in the Student Handbook.

How do I apply?
Interested students must first complete the Milligan admissions application and be offered admission to the college. They must then complete the Teacher Diversity Program Grant Application and interview process, including an essay describing how they believe their diverse background has shaped who they are and how those life experiences demonstrate a commitment to diversity as an instructional tool.

What are the selection criteria?
Selection criteria include academic performance, character, commitment to service and leadership, commitment to diversity as an instructional tool, ability to enhance and enrich the diversity of the Milligan College community.

Candidates must complete and file a FAFSA each year and apply for any possible federal and state aid.
