Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but those submitted by the priority deadline (3/31/14) have greatest chance of funding.

Students studying to teach science or math who intend to spend at least 2 years teaching in a high need school are eligible for scholarships up to $10,000 a year for up to two years. Professionals returning to teaching are eligible for one year of scholarship assistance. These scholarships have been made available by a generous grant from the National Science Foundation.
