Scholarships for education majors in Georgia?

As someone interested in becoming a teacher and studying education in Georgia, I'm eager to know about scholarships available in my state for future educators. Any recommendations for where to start?

There are several scholarships available for future educators in Georgia. First, the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant provides funds to students who are completing, or plan to complete, coursework needed to begin a career in teaching. The grant provides up to $4,000 per year and requires recipients to agree to teach in a high-needs field at a school that serves students from low-income families for at least four years.

The Georgia HOPE Scholarship is another opportunity. This scholarship is merit-based and is meant for Georgia residents pursuing a degree at an eligible college or university in Georgia. The exact amount of the scholarship varies, but it usually covers a significant portion of tuition.

The Georgia Association of Educators (GAE) also offers a few scholarships for future educators. The GAE Foundation Scholarship has a specific award for students who are the children of GAE members and are entering a college or university in Georgia with plans to pursue a career in education.

Lastly, look into The Woodrow Wilson Georgia Teaching Fellowship, which offers recent graduates and career changers with a background in STEM a $10,000 stipend to complete a specially designed master's degree program in education, in return for teaching for three years in high-need secondary urban or rural schools in Georgia.
