Saint Rose Receives $1.1 Million Grant to Train Educators to Address Issues of Diversity, Mental Health, Among Special Education Students

The College of Saint Rose has received a $1.1 million federal grant for its Thelma P. Lally School of Education to develop teachers and school psychologists who are highly skilled at working with school-age children with disabilities by viewing their needs through the lens of cultural diversity and mental health.

The U.S. Department of Education informed Saint Rose it received the five-year grant in late September for Project THRIVE (Targeting Healthy Resiliency in Vested Educators). Project THRIVE will work with – and fund the majority of tuition for – 24 master’s degree students in special education or school psychology and provide those students with the latest techniques and information for helping school-age children with high-intensity needs and their families.
