The Association for Compensatory Educators of Texas ~ Scholarship Opportunity

The Association for Compensatory Educators of Texas (ACET) is an association of school administrators and teachers who work in programs across the state designed to support students who historically have a more difficult time in school due to language, economic and other barriers. Our Association offers twenty $1000 scholarships across the state to students who have, at some time in their school career, been enrolled in a compensatory education program.

Additionally, ACET offers four $1000 scholarships to paraprofessionals who are currently working in a compensatory education program and do not currently hold a bachelor’s degree. Applicants must be pursuing a degree and teacher certification. Compensatory Education includes programs such as Title I, Bilingual/ESL, State Compensatory Education (SCE), Migrant and Homeless.

For additional information regarding both of these scholarships, take a look at the forms below.
