In recent years, lawmakers have worked to ensure our children are receiving a high-quality education, and supporting our future teachers is one way they have achieved this.
Created by the Indiana General Assembly, the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, provides future teachers a maximum of $40,000 in financial aid – up to $10,000 per year over their four-year college career.
The scholarship is open to current high school seniors and college students who plan to teach in Indiana for at least five years after their college graduation.
During the 2023 legislative session, the General Assembly passed House Enrolled Act 1637, which increased the amount of money that can be awarded by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education from $7,500 to $10,00 per year for the scholarship.
Qualified students must have either graduated in the top 20% of their high school class or earned a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT (1190) or ACT (26). Students must also commit to teaching in Indiana for at least five years after college graduation.
Applications are available through ScholarTrack here.
