EDUCATION - GREENWOOD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS


"Teacher Graduate Study Tuition Grant"

Any full-time, continuing contract teacher in Greenwood School districts 50, 51 or 52 who is working on or plans to begin work on a masters degree in teaching, counseling or as a media specialist can apply for funds. This grant reimburses one-half of the tuition for courses toward their advanced education.

"By receiving partial reimbursement for my classes, I have been able to work on my masters degree in Natural Science and Secondary Education. These classes have extended my knowledge of sciences, effective educational practices, research findings and National Boards. I have a Biology degree, but teach integrated science which incorporates all the sciences. My courses broaden my content base, help me grow professionally and improve as an educator. It's exciting and rewarding to share with my students new knowledge, activities and ideas."
