• Recruitment efforts aimed at inviting freshmen to learn about the program and get involved
• Tuition rebates for students taking Step 1 and Step 2 introductory courses
• Student scholarships
• Paid internships for students in the program to understand, explore and analyze today's K-12 science and math education for tomorrow's students
• Endowment for a master teacher
• Stipends for mentor teachers to help train students
• Stipends for cooperating national teachers who will guide students in apprentice teaching
• Discretionary funds for equipment/technology, professional conference expenditures, lending library supplies and emergency financial aid in unique circumstances
