High school seniors interested in pursuing an education degree are running out of time to apply for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship.
The scholarship opportunity is also available to college students currently studying education, as long as they graduated from an Indiana accredited high school or a non-accredited nonpublic high school.
It provides $7,500 a year for a maximum of four years to 200 students who attend an Indiana college or university. The deadline to apply is Friday, November 30th.
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT or they have to be in the top 20 percent of the high school graduating class. Recipients are required to commit to teaching in Indiana for five consecutive years once they graduate.
High school students who are interested have to be nominated by a teacher. A nomination form must be submitted with the scholarship application.
For more information and to access the nomination form and application visit the Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s webpage for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship.
