To help strengthen the teacher pipeline in Illinois, a growing number of postsecondary and scholarship organizations are collaborating with Scaling Education Pathways in Illinois to offer new incentives for Illinois students graduating with the College and Career Pathway Endorsement (CCPE) in education. Applicants who have earned or are on track to earn the CCPE are automatically advanced to the final stage of the application process for Golden Apple Scholars, the state’s largest and premier teacher scholarship program, where students can earn up to $23,000 for college.
In this webinar, recorded on September 17, 2021, EdSystems Pathways Director Juan Jose Gonzalez provides a brief overview of the CCPE, and Golden Apple Director of Recruitment Ziggy Blackwell shares the Golden Apple Scholars program benefits and how CCPE-earning students can apply.
