Scholarship recipients will enroll in the Oregon cohort of the Speech Language Pathology Masters degree program through Nova Southeastern University (NSEU). During the 2007 Regular Legislative Session, House Bill 3141, Section 19 (12), was passed by the 74th Oregon Legislative Assembly. Each biennium, the Department of education may expend up to $150,000 from the State School Fund for the administration of a program to increase the number of speech-language pathologists and speech-language pathology assistants under sections 21 to 25 of this 2007 Act. Through HB 3141 funding, forty-two (42) Oregon educators have already been awarded scholarships for further education in Speech Language Pathology, a field identified with a severe shortage of professionals. These forty-two speech language pathologists and speech language pathology assistants are currently working in Oregon school districts and, at the same time, are in professional development programs which will result in appropriate professional certification. Districts/ESDs from across the state are involved with the SLP and SLPA cohort programs, and many of the districts are located in the rural sections of the state. Even before the cohort members have completed their programs, the members are sharing their newly-honed skills in Oregon schools. We are anxious to begin an additional Oregon cohort, and invite your district or ESD to apply. The application deadline is March 1, 2010. The SLP program begins in February 2011. If you have any difficulty opening the attached document, please contact Heidi Schulze at heidi.schulze at state.or.us or 503-947-5661. Messages to and from this e-mail address may be made available to the public under Oregon law. ===========Attachment============ Speech Language Pathologist Cohort III.docx ===========End of Message============ ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
