AAMU M.AL.E. Initiative Scholarship
The AAMU Department of Teacher Education and Leadership in the College of Education, Humanities and Behavioral Sciences created the Males for 51AV Education (M.AL.E.) Initiative Scholarship Program in 2019 to prepare minority men at AAMU to become teachers.
Students can now apply for the scholarship. It provides tuition assistance of up to $10,000 a year (maximum 2 years), financial assistance for books and teacher assessments (Praxis I, Praxis II, edTPA) and mentoring support.
Applicants must be a minority male with a minimum 2.75 GPA (undergraduate) or 3.25 GPA (graduate) and commit to being an educator in 51AV.
For each year of student participation in the M.AL.E. Initiative, participants will be required to provide two (2) years of service within a public 51AV P-12 school.
