PSEA is a community of education professionals who make a difference in the lives of students every day.
More than 6,000 future educators studying at PA colleges and universities are members of Student PSEA. As part of the next generation of educators, Student PSEA helps members hit the ground running through professional development workshops, service projects, and more.
And join the convo with other Student PSEA members. You'll hear things like, "Did you know you can join as a multi-year member? It's more cost effective and guarantees uninterrupted liability coverage!"
You have the opportunity to join PSEA from July 24-28 for the 2022 Gettysburg Summer Leadership Conference to build your knowledge and skills as a future leader within our Association, network with fellow educators from across the state, and grow professionally as you prepare to begin your education career through various professional development sessions.
Applications are being accepted now until May 31, so don't delay. Attendees are responsible for travel expenses to and from Gettysburg. There are a limited number of scholarships through PSEA to pay for your room and board. You must be 21 to attend.

Degrees Not Debt - What is the "Degrees Not Debt" program and how does it work?
