Goellner Public Education Scholarship
Quality public schools are essential to our society, and good teachers can be role models who can make a big difference in students’ career aspirations.
Teachers can be a great source of inspiration for their students, showing them what hard work, dedication, kindness, and success can look like. However, young boys often may not see themselves reflected in their teachers as most educators in K-12 schools are female.
This scholarship seeks to support underrepresented male students who are passionate about pursuing careers in public education.
Any male African American, Latino, or Native American high school senior or undergraduate student in Minnesota or Wisconsin with a 3.0 min GPA who is pursuing a career in education and intending to teach in the public school system may apply for this scholarship opportunity. First-generation college students are especially encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us about your background, life experiences, and aspirations and how they led you to pursue a career in K-12 education. Additionally, upload a graduation photo.
