Caribbean Union of Teachers

Walden University announces its 2012 Walden-CUT Scholarship. First launched in 2011, four teachers from CUT member units were successful in securing the scholarships which has a value of US $ 5,000. Walden also extended 20% tuition reduction to all members of CUT affiliates for the life of their degree program when they enrolled at Walden. To date, many of our Caribbean colleagues have taken advantage of this great member benefit to fulfill their professional development goals.

This year, Walden is offering THREE (3) $5,000 Scholarships towards Walden’s MSEd Programs AND TWO (2) $1,500 Walden Social Change Agent Grants.   Both the scholarship and the grant recognize exceptional teachers who are seeking to make a difference in their schools and communities.   The scholarship allows for CUT members to enroll in Walden’s highly ranked  Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership. The grant support the direct cost of the advancement of work being done in the community by the recipient, or the recipient’s class or school, which speaks to Walden’s mission of social change.

Deadline for application is May 25 2012

As a reminder, in addition to the scholarship and grant, through this partnership, all CUT members are eligible for a 20% tuition savings* on any Walden program that will help meet educational and professional development needs.
