BRIEF SUMMARY
The Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship provides 200 high-achieving high school and college students interested in pursuing a career in education the opportunity to earn a renewable scholarship of up to $7,500 each year for four academic years.
KEY POINTS
- In 2016 the General Assembly created the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship. This initiative encourages high-achieving students to pursue a career in education. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education provides 200 new scholarships of $7,500 each year (renewable up to four years) in exchange for agreeing to teach in Indiana for five consecutive years at an eligible school. Students interested in applying must:
- be in the top 20% of their class, or have a top 20% ACT/SAT score to qualify
- submit a nomination form at time of application (from current teacher, counselor or administrator)
- submit a clean and complete FAFSA
- Students must apply through ScholarTrack, so they will need to create a full student account before they can access the application.
RESOURCES
- More information is available on the Commission website. Applications are due November 30.
