This opportunity is open to students, current staff and community members....please spread the word.....Carlow Univ. is eager to start and kick off this program with SRSD as their partner. Contact Mr. Dalmas at

Working with an economically under-resourced school district serving diverse students, funding will provide scholarship monies, student teaching stipends, and supports for BIPOC individuals employed within the district or engaged in the community. Serving diverse students, funding will provide scholarship monies, student teaching stipends, and additional supports including technology and certification exam fees. Individuals from Sto-Rox may work as office personnel, teaching assistants, coaches, paraprofessionals, school resource officers, or behavioral support technicians. A current partnership between Carlow and Sto-Rox School District has been cemented, in which Sto-Rox will provide continuing full-time employment throughout the length of the program for BIPOC individuals working in the school district and/or community with either an AA/AS or BA/BS college degree but no teaching certification:
- For those with four-year degrees, the MEd pathway provides a full scholarship with supports leading to teacher certification with a master’s degree.
- For those with some undergraduate college, or an associate degree, the transfer pathway provides a special adult tuition rate, full scholarship and support and evening/online classes for FT workers.
- Other BIPOC community members from around Pittsburgh may also complete the MEd and initial teacher certification with some of the practicum experiences at Sto-Rox School District.
