Scholarships for students majoring in education

I'm planning to major in education and I’m curious if there are scholarships specifically for education majors. Does anyone know of any that offer financial support to students pursuing this field?

Sure, there are definitely scholarships out there specifically for students interested in pursuing a major in education. Here are a few examples:

- The Phi Delta Kappa Prospective Educator Scholarships: Phi Delta Kappa International, a professional association for educators, offers multiple scholarship opportunities for future teachers. You need to be a high school senior planning on majoring in education to qualify for these scholarships.

- TEACH Grants: The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who are planning to become teachers in a high-need field in a low-income area. It requires a service obligation from the recipients.

- The Applegate-Jackson-Parks Future Teacher Scholarship: This $1,000 award is given annually by the National Institute for Labor Relations Research, and applicants are judged based on their graduate and undergraduate academic records as well as their essays.

- The Edward G. and Helen A. Borgens Elementary and Secondary Teacher Education Scholarships: These are two scholarships, one for those at the graduate level studying for a master's in education (or a similar graduate program specific to teaching), and one for those studying to be an elementary or secondary school teacher at the undergraduate level. Each scholarship grants $1,500 to one winner each year.

Remember that these are just a few examples and there may be other opportunities out there tailored to your specific interests and circumstances. Also, make sure you check the eligibility criteria and deadlines for each scholarship before you apply. Good luck with your scholarship search!
