Full-tuition scholarship program open to current and prospective educators

With schools across the country facing significant teacher shortages1, the ability to recruit and retain talent in the teaching profession is critical. To encourage aspiring educators to enter the profession and recognize the contributions of current teachers across the country, University of Phoenix® College of Education is offering 20 full-tuition scholarships as part of the Teacher Appreciation Scholarship program. Through this unique program, scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree in education from University of Phoenix.

“The opportunities for teachers to play leadership roles in their districts and communities continue to grow, and as current teachers retire, there will likely be an increasing need for educators to take on greater leadership roles,” said Pamela Roggeman, academic dean for University of Phoenix College of Education. “University of Phoenix College of Education is proud to provide educational opportunities like the Teacher Appreciation Scholarship program to attract, retain and extend leadership opportunities to current and aspiring educators.”

Applicants may apply between now and Sept. 29, 2015. The scholarship is open to the first 200 qualified applicants who meet the defined eligibility criteria.
