Scholarships

UT Permian Basin offers various scholarships to support students pursuing teaching degrees. These include merit-based awards and financial aid specifically designed to ease the cost of becoming an educator. Through programs like Falcon Free, eligible students from families making $100K or less may have their tuition and fees fully covered, making a teaching career even more accessible.

Internship or Clinical Teaching Options

UT Permian Basin offers two paths for alternative teacher certification: the Internship and Clinical Teaching options. In the Internship option, candidates work full-time as teachers while receiving support from mentors and supervisors. Clinical teaching involves working alongside an experienced mentor in a classroom for one semester, without a salary. Both pathways provide essential hands-on experience, helping future teachers meet certification requirements while contributing to local schools.
