Minnesota Indian Teacher Training Grant and Loan Program
A partnership with the Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools, the program's goal is to increase the number of American Indian teachers in these districts. The financial aid package includes a combination of special grants and student loans. The loans are forgiven based on the number of years the student teaches in the Minneapolis or St. Paul district after obtaining an Augsburg education degree and meeting the state licensing requirements.
