Alternate Route
The College of Education at WSU Tri-Cities was awarded a grant from the Washington State Professional Educator Standards Board to develop an alternate route for paraeducators to earn bachelor’s degrees in elementary education in two years at WSU Tri-Cities.
The $784,000 grant, combined with $8,000 state scholarships for each student and additional financial aid, this will fund the cost for 28 students for two years. The paraeducators will be selected by the Pasco, Richland, Kennewick, Prosser and Grandview school districts. To qualify, a student must possess a transferable associate’s degree. After graduation, each will be required to teach in the state of Washington for two years.
