Scholarship available to future Hoosier educators

0
Indiana’s top-performing high school seniors and college students planning to pursue careers as teachers are encouraged to apply for a Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship before the Jan. 31 deadline. 
[Visit scholartrack.che.in.gov to apply before Jan. 31.]

Scholarships will be awarded to high-achieving high school seniors, and college freshmen and sophomores, who graduated or will graduate from an Indiana accredited high school or non-accredited nonpublic high school by June 30, 2024.

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education will notify applicants of their scholarship status via email by April 2024. 

Thanks to a new law I co-authored during the 2023 legislative session, the annual Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship award amount increased from $7,500 to $10,000, and the 200-recipient annual cap was removed. As a result, nearly 400 scholarships were awarded in June.

As a lifelong educator, I believe there is great value in becoming a teacher and I’m excited to see so many students take advantage of this scholarship and join our field. Click here to learn more and apply for Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship today.Â
