Student Teaching Scholarship Policy
The University acknowledges that students earning scholarships for athletic performance required for both fall and spring semesters may not be able to student teach and participate in their sport. For those rare occasions where an athlete cannot be scheduled by the education department to student teach in the normal course of four years of eligibility, the University will award the same athletic scholarship for the ninth semester of study for student teaching only. This ninth semester scholarship award will not apply to any other semester hours needed to complete the requirements for graduation. A written request for this scholarship must be given to the Athletic Director no later than the first of the semester prior to the semester of student teaching.
