More scholarship options for future teachers

North Dakota resident students pursuing teaching have another high school course path toward the state's teaching scholarship. The added option requires two units of career and technical education and one unit of teaching education or teaching methods. It also requires one unit from these subjects, alone or combined: advanced-placement psychology, dual-credit psychology, child development, peer-to-peer leadership, or child-related careers. Students using this pathway must also meet an assessment option and complete at least two listed course or experience requirements. Other scholarship rules remain, including a consultative process or nine-week course, a civics test, and an approved four-year plan. Students need a 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, or an allowed equivalent proficiency score. During grades 9–12, they must also meet requirements in at least four listed activities and two eligibility areas. The law takes effect upon enactment and does not specify an award amount.
