      Scholarships are available for up to $500. Due to an increase in application submissions, scholarships are highly competitive and we can only provide funds to a fraction of those who apply. If you would like to donate funds so that we can provide more awards, please do so on our donation page.

      Teacher Scholarships Funding Options
      Teacher scholarships can be used for a wide variety of professional development opportunities and materials.  These include conferences, inservices, and materials for PLCs.  The scholarship will cover all associated costs with attending these events or obtaining these materials.  Teacher scholarships do not cover classes or materials in pursuit of a graduate degree.
