Coppin State University in Maryland Receives Five-Year Federal Award of About $1.185 Million to Prepare 20 Special Education Teachers, First Cohort in Fall 2027
BALTIMORE, Maryland — Coppin State University has received a five-year award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs, with approximately $1.185 million in projected funding, to prepare 20 special education teachers. The university will work with Anne Arundel County Public Schools to give future educators school-based experience as they complete undergraduate or graduate study.
The initiative, Project THRIVE, will support 10 students pursuing Coppin's bachelor's degree in special education and 10 pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching in special education with initial certification, across two cohorts. Scholars will receive support for tuition and fees, books, supplies, technology and licensure exams, along with advising, tutoring, mentoring and professional development. Stipends and individualized assistance may help with expenses such as transportation and childcare. The project's full name is Transforming and Honing Resilient, Innovative, Visionary Exceptional Educators.
Anthony L. Jenkins, president of Coppin State University, said every child deserves access to an exceptional education and that begins with preparing exceptional teachers. Nicole Anthony, Project THRIVE's director and principal investigator, said it is the third major federal personnel preparation grant connected to Coppin's special education program in four years, with the three projects representing more than $3.4 million in federal investment; the others are Project POSE with Baltimore City Public Schools and Project SEQUEL with Harford County Public Schools.
The grant period began October 1, 2026 and runs through September 30, 2031. The first cohort is expected to begin in fall 2027, and recruitment dates and application details will be announced during the project's planning year.
