BOR offers tuition scholarships for paraprofessionals

The Board of Regents has tuition scholarships available for paraprofessionals who want to take courses in order to meet the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act.   Some of the undergraduate courses are available through distance learning.  The public university system offers two associate’s degrees to meet the NCLB requirement: an Associate of Science Degree in Paraprofessional Education and an Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies .

The scholarships are $100 per undergraduate credit hour for up to $600 for 6 credit hours per semester.  The scholarship reimburses the paraprofessional for tuition paid upon satisfactory completion of the course.
