  Lesley Dividend for Graduate School

  If you earned your bachelor’s degree at Lesley, you’re eligible to get 12 free credits toward your Lesley master’s degree. We'll apply the award to your tuition over 2 semesters. You’ll get 6 credits of free tuition in your first semester, and 6 free credits in your last semester of graduate study. You can even use the Dividend toward an already-discounted dual bachelor’s and master’s degree program, for an even bigger bargain.

• New Teacher Community for Education Alumni

  To assist recent Lesley undergraduate and graduate education program alumni as they navigate the first few years of their teaching careers, Lesley's Graduate School of Education created a support system called the New Teacher Community.

  The Community offers professional development, mentoring, enrichment grant funding, and interactive small-group sessions to support novice teachers, helping them to stay and flourish in the profession.

  Learn how the New Teacher Community can benefit your teaching career.

• Alumni Referral Scholarship

  Lesley is starting an Alumni Referral Scholarship to attract and identify prospective students who would benefit from a bachelor’s degree at the university. The $1,000 Alumni Referral Scholarships are available to incoming undergraduate students beginning in the Fall of 2024 and are renewable for four years as long as the student is meeting minimum academic standards. Students are only eligible to receive one scholarship if they are referred by multiple alums.

  If you are a Lesley alum and know someone who was born to be a teacher, counselor, social worker, artist, designer, business leader or change agent, make it easier for them to pursue their career and refer them to Lesley using this form. They can apply as graduates directly from high school or transfer from another college or university.
