10002 School Psychologist Training Opportunity 2026-27 School Year
Northwest Area Education Agency 3.9
School psychologist job in Sioux City, IA
Rural Iowa Grow Your Own SchoolPsychologist Program
The University of Northern Iowa (UNI), in partnership with seven of Iowa's AEAs, is offering a collaborative “grow your own” program that trains new schoolpsychologists to increase access to mental health services in high-need, rural Iowaschools. Participants earn an Ed.S. in school psychology through UNI while continuing to work full-time. Upon graduation, students commit to serving as AEA schoolpsychologists in rural areas, helping address critical local needs. Two pathways are available:
Bachelor's track: For educators with Bachelor's degrees currently working in schools (teachers, paraprofessionals, etc.); Ed.S. in 4 years
Master's track: For professionals with Master's degrees in education and related fields; Ed.S. in 3 years
Why It Matters
Iowa faces a critical shortage of schoolpsychologists. While NASP recommends 1 psychologist per 500 students, current ratios in Iowa range from 1:1,657 to 1:7,857, limiting student access to mental health supports.
Program Benefits
Financial Support: The grant covers the cost of books each semester, travel costs for in-person classes/sessions, and 90% of tuition and fees.
Part-time: Ability to take classes part-time while working full-time.
Strong professional engagement: Join a cohort of up to 12 others taking the same sequence of courses in the program.
Service Commitment
Graduates commit to 3 years of service in their AEA after completion
Informational sessions via Zoom will be held on January 26 (3:30-4:30) and January 27 (4:00-5:00) to provide more information about the program and the process of applying for the program at UNI. If interested in attending this event, please complete the brief application. Once we receive your application, we will forward the program details and links to the Zoom sessions.
