RE:  SLPA Scholarship Opportunity





The Oregon Department of Education Office of Student Learning & Partnerships is currently offering scholarships to aspiring Speech Language Pathology Assistants (SLPA)



Purpose of Scholarship Program

The goal is to increase the number of SLPAs in Oregon schools through scholarship funding for school districts and Education Service Districts (ESD).   Scholarship candidates must complete a Speech Language Pathologist Assistant program through the Chemeketa Community College distance program, earn certification, and agree to work in the district or ESD that sponsored the candidate.

Eligibility
District/ESD: Scholarship funding is available to school districts and ESDs that have a shortage of certified SLPAs for vacant positions.
Scholarship candidates: Scholarships are available to current employees of a school district or ESD who want to pursue training in Speech Language Pathology.
