Gallogly Family Foundation Internship Fund
Gallogly Family Foundation Internship Fund
The Gallogly Family Foundation is establishing the Fund in honor of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) College of Education graduates Tommy Gallogly, Tony Gallogly, Mary DeSantis, and Paul Gallogly,
to support exceptional K-12 teachers as they start their careers.

Gallogly Family Foundation Internship Fund Application
The Gallogly Family Foundation Internship Fund and the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative provide funding to full-time education students in the College of Education. To qualify, students must be Colorado residents, have a minimum 3.3 cumulative GPA, show financial need by completing the 2023-2024 FAFSA with an Expected Family Contribution equal to or less than 250% of Pell Grant Eligibility (~$15,500), and be enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours per semester). Students must be at the Professional Year level to be considered for this award. Priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate successful prior field experience and who plan to teach in a high needs educational area (i.e., rural communities, STEM education, special education, culturally and linguistically diverse education, and world languages).
Apply online through the link above. Applicants will need to upload 1) a resume demonstrating experience working with youth (include any practicum experiences included in teacher preparation programs) and 2) a written personal statement describing prior experiences in education and the future contributions the applicant would like to make to the education profession (1-2 pages, double-spaced).
Recipients must successfully complete the work of student teaching throughout the Professional Year. Should the student fail to successfully complete their student teaching placement, whatever prorated funds for the year must be repaid.
Funds will be distributed twice during the academic year. The first payment will be made at the end of August. The second payment will be made at the end of January.
Recipients will be notified of internship results in late June.
