Eligibility Application

ADMISSIONS: Teachers, who are determined as eligible after review of their application, will have to apply as a non-degree student following the graduate application process at: http://www.wilkes.edu/pages/507.asp Eligible teachers must be enrolled as "non-degree," as per grant guidelines.

To comply with grant admission guidelines: Teachers in high need partner school districts:
