STEM Academies-Science Teachers
Thanks to a generous donation we have an additional incentive for teachers who participate in the 2018 STEM Academy for Science Teachers! All participating teachers will receive a $1,000 stipend upon successful completion of the summer academy. This is in addition to graduate level credit (7 hours), additional campus supply budget, and the opportunity to complete an M.Ed. at a deeply discounted tuition rate.
UNCF
Each year the Dallas Independent School District supports the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), the nation’s largest and most effective minority education organization, by launching a workplace campaign to raise funds for deserving college-bound students. The workplace campaign takes place from February 16 – April 16, 2018.
