Thank you for the quality placement you have provided to one of our future teachers!

For student teaching hosts only:

The Board of Trustees of the State University of New York authorizes each SUNY college to issue either a $200 stipend or a $250 tuition waiver to each cooperating teacher for the quarter in which he/she is assigned a student teacher. The process that is followed is one that has been established by SUNY System Administration, not SUNY Oswego.
