Georgia College & State University, in collaboration with the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), is excited to announce that we have received the Georgia Residency for Educating Amazing Teachers (GREAT) Grant for three cohorts of students (2020 – 2023) to complete their MAT in Middle Grades Education in Math and Science. If you’ve been interested in furthering your education, this opportunity may be a great fit for you.
The GREAT Grant offers a living stipend of $39,000, which equals 100 percent of a first- year teacher’s salary. The program is completed in four semesters and held completely online. Professional development experiences associated with the GREAT grant are face-to-face. All accepted students must commit to a one-year residency in the local school system (Putnam, Washington, Baldwin, Hancock, Johnson, and Wilkinson) and promise to teach in the system their residency is completed in for three additional years.
