Graduate School Benefits
1. Albertus Magnus College Tuition Discount
As part of an expanded partnership with Albertus Magnus College, New Haven Promise alumni are eligible for a 15% tuition discount on degree programs offered through Albertus’ Professional and Graduate Studies (PGS) Division.
2. Yale Teaching Fellowship
Promise alumni aspiring to become teachers or currently working full-time at New Haven Public Schools as teachers, paraprofessionals, or student-facing support staff are encouraged to apply for the Yale Teaching Fellowship program. Benefits include but not limited to:
- Free tuition* at SCSU
- Living stipend of up to $46,000**. Terms apply.
- Teacher certification and a Master’s degree in a shortage area.
* Tuition does not cover non-mandatory fees or any past due bills for previous SCSU enrollment; fellows are responsible for resolving any unpaid SCSU bills before starting the fellowship.
* Living stipend varies by track.
The Yale Teaching Fellowship is responsive to the needs of New Haven Public Schools. As such, fellows commit not only to teaching in NHPS for three years, but also to filling vacancies in schools and subject areas that have the greatest need.
