jennsuzy :
I am a teacher in California. I have my Master’s in special education as well as my Education Specialist credential that I completed in 2003. I have been teaching for over 7 years now. Last year I completed my reading specialist credential and I am an exam away from having my second Master’s degree.
My parents and grants through the department at my university paid for most of my first Master’s. I paid for most of the second one. My Education Specialist credential is about to expire and I want to renew it so that I can keep everything current. Doing that would require me to take 16 more units of courses. Each unit at Santa Clara University where I have completed all my other work costs over $400. This would cost me around $6,500 not including books and other expenses. I could do it at other universities that aren’t much less expensive, but they are farther away and less convenient. And I’ve got a 1 year old son at home.
How am I going to pay for this????
When I was doing my last Master’s program I went to financial aid to ask for scholarships, but they told me that they didn’t give them for graduate programs. What sense does that make?
Do you know of any grants or scholarships that are given for teachers renewing credentials or furthering education? I have looked in the past but been unsuccessful at finding anything.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Thanks, Alan J! Sounds great! ; -)

I work for a public school district, so they’re not going to pay for it.
