Beginning Teacher Opportunities
The Newington College Teacher Education Scholarship offers a unique opportunity for pre-service teachers who are in their final year of initial teacher education, to experience the life of being a teacher, working closely with experienced professionals, in a range of classroom settings.
The scholarship, valued at $12,000, will be awarded to pre-service teachers with a strong academic record who will contribute to the curricular and co-curricular life of Newington throughout the school year.
