SC CREATE

SC-CREATE is a scholarship program sponsored by the South Carolina Department of Education, Office of Special Education Services, (Peter Keup, JD, Director). Initiated in 2003, the mission of the program is to increase the number of highly qualified, credentialed professionals in SC local education agency (LEA) public schools who serve the needs of students with disabilities.

Through a collaborative partnership with SC colleges, SC-CREATE underwrites course tuition and textbook costs for initial, alternative, and add-on licensure programs in special education and related services. Only individuals employed full-time (any position, in or out of the classroom) by a SC public or charter school are eligible for the SC-CREATE scholarship program.

• Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Special Education: Multi-categorical
