Scholarship Description
* Scholarship Type: Merit-based but in order to receive funding, recipients are required to file a FAFSA. PELL and TAP awards are figured into the equation of the award amount which funds recipients costs for tuition, books, room and board. * Eligibility Criteria: Admitted freshmen and continuing students majoring in areas of education who demonstrate high academic achievement and are citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Applicants who are transfer or continuing students must be admitted to a major that leads to teacher certification or, if a current freshman, be listed as waiting in a major that leads to teacher certification. A scholarship award for transfer or continuing students is contingent upon available space and spring semester grades reflecting an overall GPA that meets or exceeds the minimum requirement for student teaching in their major. * First Priority - given to individuals from groups who have been historically underrepresented or underserved in the teaching profession and who demonstrate a commitment to teach in high-need urban schools.
