Give a Gift to Lurie College
Our college has been preparing educators for over a century and a half through rigorous undergraduate and graduate study and professional credentialing programs. Our programs have prepared some of the best, brightest, and most committed educators in the Bay Area and beyond. In addition to annually awarding scholarships to many of our students, recent accomplishments to financially support our current and future educators have included:
- Establishing our STEM+C Teacher Institute to create opportunities for SJSU students and recent alumni to develop skills to ensure that their future K-12 students have access to high-quality STEM and computer science learning.
- Establishing a Financial Hardship Grant Fund for students experiencing unforeseen financial hardships that prevent them from continued enrollment. During the COVID-19 crisis, over 75 Lurie College students have requested a grant from this fund.

-
Tucked into the northwest corner of History San Jose sits the One Room Schoolhouse. Santa Clara County elementary school students, while studying local history, use this authentic one-room schoolhouse on a regular basis. Thousands of students participate each year in a hands-on curriculum, developed by local elementary teachers, experiencing what it was like to attend school in the late 1800's.
Built in 1871, Santa Ana School was used as a schoolhouse for grades one through eight from 1872-1967. A total of 54 teachers taught at Santa Ana School. Teacher Elizabeth GatesRianda from 1972-1974 used it for the last time as a kindergarten classroom. The Lurie College of Education Alumni Board raised funds to move the schoolhouse to History San Jose, renovate it, and dedicate it in 1998. Today it serves as a real life example of local history to elementary students and those who visit the history park and schoolhouse.
