2024 Light the Way Teachers' Scholarship

PROGRAM DEADLINE: May 31, 2024 at 12:30 AM PDT

Description

As retired educators, Jeff and Lola know the financial cost of earning a teaching degree has never been easily reimbursed by wages earned after graduation. They believe that education is key to success and happiness in life. To support the possibilities available to students interested in teaching, they established the Light the Way Teacher’s Scholarship to support a profession that has been personally rewarding and fulfilling. 

Requirements

Eligibility Criteria: Scholarship recipients must be residents of Clark county and current college students who are entering their third or fourth year of undergraduate coursework to obtain their bachelor's degree in education.
 
Considerations: Preference will be given to students that:
·       Demonstrate a strong commitment to community service

Eligibility and Considerations for Renewal: Awards may be renewed if the recipient reapplies each year to compete, documents adequate progress toward a degree, remains in good standing at the school which they are enrolled, and have continuing financial need.
