Scholarships for education majors—any recommendations?

I'm really interested in becoming a teacher and was wondering what scholarships are out there for future educators. Are there organizations that support students pursuing a teaching career financially?

Absolutely, there are many scholarships out there designed specifically to support future educators. Here's a short list of a few scholarships for teaching students:

1. Phi Delta Kappa (PDK) Prospective Educator Scholarship: This scholarship is offered by one of the largest associations of educators. They offer a range of scholarships for future teachers from $500 to $2000.

2. Applegate-Jackson-Parks Future Teacher Scholarship: This $1000 scholarship is awarded every year to a student who demonstrates an understanding and appreciation for the principles of voluntary unionism and the problems of compulsory unionism in relation to education.

3. The TEACH Grant: While not a typical scholarship, the TEACH (Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education) Grant is a federal program that could provide up to $4000 per year if you agree to teach in a high-need field, in a school that serves low-income families for four years.

4. Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program: This program provides scholarships to STEM majors. In return, they commit to teaching in high-need K-12 environments upon graduation.

Make sure to check the eligibility requirements for each of these scholarships as they can vary. Some are need-based while others are merit-based, and they will have different deadlines and application processes. Good luck in your scholarship search and your path to becoming a teacher!
