Scholarships
“Can I afford to go to Brandeis?” Given the cost of higher education, that’s a frequent and understandable question. Scholarships for the AGS and EdM are available to qualified applicants. For more information, please email Margery Sokoloff, associate director of the Teacher Leadership Program.
The Brandeis-Waltham Teacher Leader Fellowship allows teachers (K-12) from Waltham Public Schools (WPS) to enroll in the AGS course of study with significant financial support from both Brandeis and the district. All applications must be supported by their school leadership. Please note that participants should be prepared to stay within the district for three years following their participation in the Fellowship program to be eligible for the WPS scholarship.
The Brandeis-Arlington Teacher Leader Fellowship allows teachers (K-12) from Arlington Public Schools (APS) to enroll in the AGS course of study with significant financial support from both Brandeis and the district. All applications must be supported by the school leadership. Please note that participants should be prepared to stay within the district for three years following their participation in the Fellowship program to be eligible for the APS scholarship.
The Jewish Day School Fellowship allows teachers (K-12) from Jewish day schools in the US to enroll in the AGS course of study with a full tuition scholarship (25% Brandeis Scholarship and 75% Legacy Heritage Teacher Leader Fellowship). The Fellowship covers the costs of on-campus housing and meals for the two summer sessions. The Fellowship also covers an additional (second) year of one-on-one coaching regardless of whether the teacher chooses to enroll in the second-year EdM coursework. Teachers admitted to the Teacher Leadership Program from Jewish day schools will automatically be considered for the Fellowship. Applicants must be nominated by their Head of School and have at least 5 years of classroom experience.
Since 2018, the ICEF charter school network in Los Angeles has sponsored teachers to participate in the Teacher Leadership Program. ICEF teachers are guaranteed a 50% tuition scholarship from Brandeis. All other expenses (including room & board) are covered by ICEF.
