South Dakota has maintained its teaching scholarship program open to all applicants while introducing a new priority for candidates pursuing special education degrees. The move aims to address a growing demand for qualified special education teachers in the state. Eligibility for the scholarship remains broad, but preference will be given to those committed to filling critical needs in special education classrooms. This adjustment reflects broader efforts to strengthen support for students with disabilities in public schools.
