V.C. Willis Foundation Scholarship
Teachers play a crucial role in society, which has been revealed more and more in the events of the past couple of years.
Studies are beginning to show that teachers do more than teach knowledge in Math, English, and so on. Teachers have the power to team up with parents to create safe environments for students that help them grow their emotional intelligence and therefore succeed in both school and life. Because teachers play such an important part in the academic and emotional development of students, the V.C. Willis Foundation Scholarship seeks to support the future of the teaching field. This scholarship honors the life of V.C. Willis by encouraging the next generation of teachers.
High school seniors planning to major in education are eligible to apply if they have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and are involved in extracurricular activities. In your application, write about why you believe it is important to educate and mentor today's youth.
Please share why you believe that education and mentoring of the youth are important.
