TVI Cohort partnership with Stephen F. Austin University

We are excited to announce we’re seeking applicants for TVIs through the Stephen F. Austin program.

Below is a web link with application materials specific to Washington for enrollment in the TVI Cohort partnership with Stephen F. Austin University and WA Sensory Disabilities Services. Questions about the program itself can be directed to Michael Munro at munromicha@sfasu.edu or at (936) 468-1036.

Although the program itself has capacity for more students, up to 9 candidates will have their tuition FULLY funded Course fees and textbooks will be the responsibility of the candidate or their employer if they are going to be sponsored.

If more than 9 qualified candidates apply, selection for funding will be based on specific criteria including qualifications and areas of high need.  As with last year, this cohort is only for people that already have a teaching certificate.

Please feel free to email WSDS with questions, wsds@psesd.org
