Announcement: Scholarship Opportunity for Camden Teachers

NJCTL is partnering with the Camden Education Fund (CEF) to provide funding for 80% of the cost of tuition for currently certified teachers to add a Teachers of Students with Disabilities (TOSD) endorsement.

Who Qualifies:

Teachers with a Standard, CE or CEAS who teach in a district, charter, or renaissance school in Camden are eligible to apply.

Schools may also have additional qualification requirements.

Program Description:

This 24-credit Endorsement program is approved by the New Jersey Department of Education to provide all the required instruction so that currently certified New Jersey teachers can add a Teacher of Students with Disabilities (TOSD) endorsement. Click here for program.

Upon being accepted into the program, candidates begin the eight-course sequence while applying to the DOE for a TOSD Certificate of Eligibility (CE). That CE can be used to get a provisional certificate from their district while they complete their coursework for their Add-On Endorsement.

Those who complete the TOSD Endorsement program are also eligible to earn a Master of Science in Special Education by taking two additional courses. (These two courses are not included in the scholarship). Click here for program. 

All courses are 100% online, asynchronous, and self-paced. Candidates can start anytime and finish at their own pace, though the full program should be completed in under two years.
