There are approximately 17 institutions of higher education (IHEs) in Alabama with special education program certification. Each IHE receives stipends based on their enrollment to provide support for teachers to become certified in special education. Additional stipends are given to the Historically Black Colleges and Universities for minority students and for students to become certified in hearing impairment and visual impairment.

This past year the number of Students Receiving Awards by Category was as follows.

For information about available stipends contact the Special Education chairperson at the university you plan to attend.
