This program is ideal for students who want to strengthen their teaching skills, improve their professional qualifications, and contribute to solving the global shortage of qualified teachers.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree and must not already have a Master’s degree in Education. Candidates should demonstrate a clear commitment to teaching, learning, and educational development.
Applicants must also meet the English language proficiency requirements of the program and must not currently be enrolled in the University of the People M.Ed. program. Candidates who already hold a master’s degree in another field may still be eligible to apply.
This opportunity is especially valuable for applicants from low and middle income regions who are seeking an affordable and flexible path to postgraduate education.
Scholarship Benefits
The University of the People M.Ed. Scholarship follows a cost elimination model rather than offering a monthly stipend. Selected students receive a full tuition free online degree, coverage of course assessment fees, waiver of application fees, and coverage of transfer credit fees when applicable.
The scholarship may also include support for English preparatory courses if required. Since the degree is delivered entirely online, students can study flexibly from their own country without the need to relocate.
The scholarship does not cover living expenses because the program is fully online and does not require travel or accommodation.
