2020 Spring Student Support

Welcome to a new year and new semester!

This post is to update you on the student support payment you are eligible for if you are a Project Sage scholar and meeting the criteria.

If you have passed all three of the Praxis Core tests, you are eligible to receive $4,000 per semester. Of course, you also have to be enrolled full-time, passing your courses and meeting the minimum score on the dispositions assessment. But those of you who are at this level meet this criteria.

If you have taken and passed at least one Praxis Core test, and have met the other criteria, you are eligible for $3,000 per semester.

If you are eligible for this student support, I'm going to wait a couple weeks to request the payment for you. The reason for this is we want to make sure your other funding sources are posted first, especially Pell (Title IV) if you're eligible for it. Once Pell is posted, the request for Sage support for those of you who are eligible will be processed.

As we've said in the past, please do not contact any of us and ask about the status of your support payment. I will let you know when the request for payment is submitted. After that, we have no way of tracking it. You'll just have to watch your student account info in my.uttc.edu to see when it's posted. Please don't call Financial Aid or Student Accounts either. As hard as it is, just be patient and watch for it in my.uttc. Again, we'll let you know when it's submitted. Once it's submitted, the money is usually in your hands within 8-10 business days.

Stay warm and I'll see you at the monthly Sage seminar that will be scheduled soon.

Thank you.

Fall 2019 Student Support

We are planning to submit the request for your student support payment to Finance beginning Monday of this week. If you have passed all three of your Praxis tests, you will receive an award of $4,000 for the semester. If you have passed at least one, you will receive an award of $3,000.

We will be checking grades so I'm hoping you're all doing well in your courses. It's early in the semester so if you're missing one assignment, it's going to drop your grade. Do what you can to get them up so we can move forward with the student support for you.

A couple of you still have a few steps that need to be completed before we can process your award. I will send you an email, letting you know the things we need turned in.

It was nice visiting with you at the Sage Seminar this past Thursday. I look forward to these monthly meetings. Brenda and Lezlie keep me updated on how well you're all doing so know that I'm wishing you continued success and that you have my total support.

Have a wonderful semester and we'll be in touch!

Reggio Emilia Training

Brianne Teevan, owner of Bambini Creativi, will be on campus to provide training to the preschool staff July 23-25. Bambini Creativi is a family owned private and independent school founded serving preschool and elementary students.

You are invited to participate in this training if you are interested in learning more about Reggio Emilia, the philosophy that Brianne uses in the Bambini school. 

Reggio Emilia is an educational philosophy that uses self-directed, experiential learning in a relationship-driven environment. It was developed after World War III in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and gets its name from the city.


If you are interested in attending, please email Lisa at lazure@uttc.edu. The training is all day on those three days and you will receive a stipend for attending. You will have to stay all day, all three days, to get the stipend. This is a great opportunity so think about it! Thank you!
