All students must be currently enrolled in a professional teacher preparation program leading to a credential in special education within an accredited California institution of higher education that is approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).

The current listing of “priority schools” is available by clicking here.
The 2020-21 State Budget allocated $15 million in federal funds for GSTG awards. The awards will be provided on a first-come first-served basis until funding is exhausted or until June 30, 2023, whichever comes first. Participants must complete a 2020-21 GSTG application which is available on the CSAC website, and indicate the school and the program in which they are enrolled.
