USBE Grants To College of Education - 2020
Faculty in the Department of Special Education and Department of Educational Psychology
received six Utah State Board of Education (USBE) grant awards to increase training
opportunities for future educators in special education for the state of Utah. These
awards represent 54% of the total funding that was available from the USBE for 2020-21.
These training grants will increase pathways for students to be trained as education professionals in the areas listed below describing each grant. We appreciate the USBE’s confidence in the programs in the College of Education to contribute to the overwhelming demand for high quality education professionals in these areas. The College of Education continues its commitment to the training of educators and finding ways to increase access and financial support for those interested in pursuing these fields.
