Note: Some financial aid programs (i.e. Pell Grant) may not recognize our program’s position (see SHSU Catalog): “Student Teaching Block is considered a FULL LOAD at SHSU” and “Candidates registered for nine hours during the student teaching semester are considered to be full-time students by SHSU.” This may result in a reduction of financial aid. Students with questions should contact the SHSU financial aid office.
