Claremont Graduate University Grant Covers Full Tuition to Train Native American Students as Teachers

Claremont Graduate University (CGU) announces the Claremont Native American (CNA) Fellowship, a $1-million grant made possible by a partnership between CGU and the US Department of Education’s Office of Indian Education to support 100-percent full tuition expenses (including a living stipend) for Native American students who dream of becoming teachers and serving the children in their communities.

Recognizing the need for more educator training in Native American communities across the country, the fellowship helps students to earn a California preliminary K-12 teaching credential and a master’s degree in education in as little as 15 months.
