Sunny Story Paraeducator Scholarship

The Sunny Story Paraeducator Scholarships have been created to support the education of paraeducators who are pursuing Paraeducator Certification. The renewal of the generous gift from Sunny Story, a paraeducator from Grant Early Childhood Center, in Cedar Rapids, provides scholarships of $350 each.

In order to qualify for the scholarship, the student must:

• be currently employed as a paraeducator,
• be registered in courses leading to Paraeducator Certification,
• indicate by their past performance and future plans that they will continue their education with courses leading towards certification or higher levels of certification, and
• have completed one of the following classes: Introduction to Disabilities Services Careers or Observation and Management of Behavior.*

The scholarships will be offered for the Spring 2010 and Summer 2010 semesters. The application deadline is December 1, 2009 for the Sping semester and April 15, 2010 for the Summer semester.

For additional information and a scholarship application, contact Susan Simon, Professor/Coordinator.

*If you are interested in obtaining a scholarship for summer classes, be sure to take one of the courses this spring.*
