A $4,000 stipend is available to help pay for your books, tuition and related fees. You may also apply for financial aid. In return, you make a commitment to teach math or science for three years in a high-need school district in San Antonio. UTSA's partner school districts include the Edgewood, Harlandale, San Antonio, Southside and Southwest ISDs.
A series of information sessions about this program offered by UTSA's Academy for Teacher Excellence in the College of Education and Human Development begin at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 15, at the Downtown campus, Frio Street Building 3.402.
