New York City Board of Education Scholarship Program
In addition to financial aid and scholarship programs offered
through Long Island University, the New York City Board of Education
offers a scholarship program for students pursuing a B.S. in Teacher
of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities Teacher of Students
with Speech and Language Disabilities - Bilingual Extension. This
scholarship program is offered and administered by the New York
City Board of Education. It pays for all tuition during a student's
junior and senior undergraduate years, or graduate tuition in
approved university programs. Students interested in applying
for the scholarship should contact Ms. Sophia Rotunno at (718)
935-2449 for information. Potential applicants should be aware
that a Board of Education scholarship entails the following responsibilities:
- Scholarship recipients must successfully complete the major.
- Scholarship recipients must work one year for the New York
City Board of Education for every 12 credits of tuition granted.
Students may begin work in the schools after completing their
undergraduate degree, or go on for graduate study and begin
work once they have earned a graduate degree.
- Scholarship recipients who do not successfully complete the
major or who choose not to work for the New York City public
schools are obliged to repay tuition monies accepted.
- Students should also be aware that they must earn a graduate
degree in Speech-Language Pathology within five years of receiving
their Bachelor's Degree in order to continue working in the
school system anywhere in the state. We have instituted minimum
academic requirements (see above) in order to improve students'
chances of being accepted into a graduate program. We have designed
our undergraduate programs to prepare students for graduate
work. A scholarship recipient or any student who does not gain
admittance to or successfully complete a graduate program will
only be able to work in the schools for a limited time as a
Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities.
