Future Teachers Getting Help From Student Stipends
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Future teachers may get some financial help from the state that could go a long way in solving Pennsylvania's teacher shortage. Students earning their education degrees in Pennsylvania would receive a ten-thousand-dollar stipend for living expenses while they complete their student-teaching requirement. The provision would start with the 2024-2025 academic year, and state officials say applications will be available soon. At least 88-hundred teaching positions were left unfilled or filled temporarily this school year.
