I'm an aspiring education major from Michigan and was wondering if anyone knows of any good scholarship opportunities specific to my state. Hoping to ease the burden of college costs a little.
Absolutely! There are several Michigan-specific scholarships for education majors that you could consider.
1. The Michigan Competitive Scholarship: This scholarship is provided by the state for high school graduates who demonstrate both financial need and merit, like achieving a certain SAT score. Although it is not specifically for education majors, it still could be a great help to you.
2. The Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) offers the Emily Bouck Research Scholarship. An applicant must be a current MCTM member and currently enrolled in an Education or Mathematics-related graduate program.
3. The Detroit Federation of Teachers (DFT) offers the Mary Ellen Riordan Scholarship. It's available to incoming college freshmen who are graduates of Detroit Public Schools and planning on pursuing a career in Education.
4. The Michigan Education Association (MEA) Scholarship is designed for MEA members, children of MEA members grandchildren of MEA members, or MEA staff who are graduating high school seniors or undergraduate students pursuing a degree in education.
