Hearts to Serve, Minds to Teach Scholarship
Teaching is not just a career, it’s a calling to serve others and uplift communities, allowing one to make a difference for years to come.
Great educators do more than deliver lessons, they inspire growth, build trust, and leave lasting impressions that reach far beyond the classroom. Exceptional teachers can make all the difference in inspiring students to go after their goals and believe in their potential, regardless of whatever setbacks they may face.
This scholarship aims to support and celebrate aspiring educators who see teaching for all that it is and are passionate about making a difference in students’ lives.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is pursuing a degree in education or another field that will allow them to pursue a career as an educator may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have at least a 3.3 GPA.
To apply, tell us how you have served others and what you hope your future students will gain from having you as a teacher.
Teaching is about more than delivering a curriculum — it’s about making a lasting impact. How have you served others in your community, and what do you hope your future students will gain from having you as a teacher, beyond academic knowledge?
Whether you’ve volunteered in your neighborhood, mentored younger students, or simply carried a spirit of service in everyday life, we want to hear your story. We’re looking for applicants who lead with heart, think with purpose, and envision a future where education is a force for good.
