ASPIRE is starting recruitment for the 2012-13 program year.  The purpose of the ASPIRE Stipend Program is to encourage early childhood educators working in Los Angeles County to complete both training on the CLASS and college coursework in order to be prepared to offer a high quality learning experience for the young children in their care.  Participants who have successfully met the requirements receive a stipend of at least $1,000 in the late summer.

Both LAUP and non-LAUP teachers are eligible.  If you have interested teachers, they should submit a Stipend Interest Form by May 1, 2012 to be considered for the 2012-13 ASPIRE Stipend Program.  Interest Forms are now available on the LAUP website at www.laup.net/aspire

  • Those Stipend Interest Forms received will be entered into a drawing for the open spaces in the program and will be notified if they are selected to apply in July.
  • Current  participants do not need to submit the Stipend Interest form.  They are given the opportunity to re-enroll in June.
