Teacher Education Loans and Grants

Financial assistance for Waldorf teacher education is available through AWSNA's Teacher Education Loans and Grants Program and other programs offered through the teacher training institutes.

AWSNA is pleased to be able to offer two channels of financial assistance to people training to be Waldorf teachers in our member institutes.

Applications are available and made through the teacher training institute.
  1. Teacher Education Loans Program, in which funds that are borrowed from AWSNA can be forgiven if graduates of education programs teach three-quarter to full-time in AWSNA- or WECAN-affiliated Waldorf schools.
  2. Currently Practicing Teacher (CPT) Matching Grants Program for people already teaching in AWSNA- or WECAN-affiliated schools as they pursue their training, in which AWSNA provides outright grants that are matched by the school at which the applicant is teaching.
