Originally founded in 1967 as the Teachers Institute in Liberal Education, the Graduate Institute seeks to preserve a commitment to the education of teachers as a special part of its mission. The Graduate Institute therefore offers special grants to educators.
The Educator Grant is available to students working in education as teachers, administrators, professors, librarians, curriculum developers and more. The Educator Grant provides a one-third tuition grant to pursue either of the graduate programs without demonstrating need. Students who demonstrate need may qualify for up to the maximum of one-half the tuition for either program. Applicants who wish to be considered for the Educator Grant must complete the form below and submit a letter from the supervisor of their institution verifying their employment.
