Graduate Programs in Education

Graduate Programs in Education offer students several scholarship and grant opportunities. Please note that students are only eligible for one scholarship, grant, or discount from the College per academic year.

Christian School Scholarship
This scholarship applies to students in the M.Ed. Programs and the Ed.S. for Reading Specialist or Math Specialist who are full-time faculty employed in Christian schools. The Christian School Scholarship will apply to your degree courses with the exception of any practica. The form must be filled out once per academic year.

Grapevine Consortium Discounts
Faculty and staff at GGC member schools, along with their spouses, may take courses within Graduate Programs in Education at Gordon with a discount rate of 15% off of tuition.

Early Childhood Educators Scholarship
Associated with the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, this scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance for currently employed early childhood and out-of-school time educators and providers who enroll in a certificate, associate's, bachelor's, or master’s degree program in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, Family Studies, Child Care Administration, or fields that directly name early child development and its specific areas of inquiry.

Federal TEACH Grant
The TEACH Grant program is a non-need-based grant program that provides up to $4,000 per year to students who are enrolled in an eligible program and who agree to teach in a high-need field, at a low-income elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency as a highly qualified teacher, for at least four years within eight years of ceasing enrollment at the school where the TEACH Grant is awarded.

The student must sign a TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve or Repay (Agreement) that describes the service obligation requirements before receiving a TEACH Grant for an award year and must complete initial counseling prior to receiving the first TEACH Grant and subsequent counseling before receiving each subsequent TEACH Grant.

If the student subsequently fails to meet TEACH Grant service obligation requirements, the TEACH Grants will be converted to Direct Unsubsidized Loans that the student must repay in full, with interest charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement.
