SETTW - Illinois Special Education Teacher Tuition Waiver Program

If you are a teacher or an academically talented student pursuing a career in special education in Illinois, you may be eligible for the Illinois Special Education Teacher Tuition Waiver Program. This program will exempt you from paying tuition and mandatory fees at an eligible institution, for up to four calendar years.

By receiving the tuition waiver, you must teach in Illinois in the field of special education. If this teaching commitment is not fulfilled, the amount of benefits received converts to a loan, and you must repay the entire amount plus interest.

Additional information and applications can be found at ISAC.
