Back to School: Homework Help, Scholarships for Future Teachers, Art Education Grants

Friday, September 21, 2018

With school back in session across our state, now is a great time for Hoosiers to take advantage of available educational resources.

Rose-Hulman’s Homework Hotline

Middle and high school students across Indiana who need extra help with math and science are invited to contact the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s free Homework Hotline by calling, chatting online or emailing with tutors.

Students can submit questions online via live chat at AskRose.org, by calling the toll-free number at 877-275-7673 or by emailing questions any time during the day (students will receive a response during operating hours).

Scholarships for Future Teachers

Applications for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship are now available.

Created by the Indiana General Assembly in 2016, the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship establishes 200 scholarships that pay up to $7,500 annually for students who commit to teaching in Indiana for five years after their college graduation.

To qualify for the scholarship, students must either graduate in the highest 20 percent of their high school class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT. To continue earning the scholarship in college, students must earn at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year.

The deadline to submit an application is Friday, Nov. 30. After the deadline passes, applicants will be notified of their scholarship status via email by Jan. 4, and finalists will participate in regional interviews in March.
