Andrea Tyrah DeBruhl Memorial Scholarship for Future Teachers
Safe At Play Inc
Children deserve to live long, happy, and healthy lives and shouldn’t be in danger at school.
Unfortunately, many children face injuries and harm at school, often on the playground. More than 200,000 children go to the emergency room every year as a result of an injury on the playground and 15 children die each year as a result.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Andrea Tyrah DeBruhl by promoting playground safety awareness to protect children from harm or injury.
Any undergraduate student in Georgia who is interested in pursuing early childhood education and has a 3.0 GPA or higher may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us why playground safety is important to you and how you’ll ensure that your future playgrounds are safe.
Please tell us why it is important to have safe playgrounds and explain what actions you would take as a teacher to ensure that you receive extensive training in playground supervision.
