Teacher And Educator Scholarships

Teachers have a challenging job, but it's very rewarding.

Parents can attest to this: teachers have a challenging job, but it's very rewarding. Watching children grow up and build life skills makes all the kicking and screaming worth the while. If you truly believe this, you're a perfect candidate for teacher scholarships.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are more than 3.7 million public and private school teachers in the United States, and since 2001 the ratio of public school pupils per teacher has dropped from 15.9 to 15.2*.

Your career in teaching will positively affect the lives of thousands of children, but right now use our list of scholarships for teaching as a resource to finance YOUR education.
