Temple University Students

The deadline to apply for the 2024-2025 cohort is Friday, Nov. 11, 2024.

Temple University students are eligible to apply to participate in the School L.I.F.E. Project. Pre-service teachers can apply to enroll in the Early Childhood Education and English as a Second Language Dual Certification Program.

The School L.I.F.E. Project offers many benefits to Temple University early childhood education (ECE) students.

  • Students are eligible for a scholarship to earn the Pennsylvania English as a Second Language (ESL) Program Specialist Certificate. This includes a $10,000 stipend and in-state tuition remission for two ESL certification courses.
  • Students are matched with a mentor teacher receiving synchronized and aligned professional development to support high-quality, culturally relevant and sustaining practices for MLEs. Importantly, all placements are at partnership schools with leadership teams dedicated to supporting all teachers of MLEs.

Students with questions can contact Dr. Karen Liebner at kliebner@temple.edu.
