Published by on October 23, 2019 12:00 am Comments Off on Education Major Scholarship – Deadline Extended in Students

The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) has extended the application deadline to October 31 for their new scholarship for Education majors.

  • The scholarship award is equivalent to 100% of the annual tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board.
  • This is a significant aid opportunity, but it also includes a Service Obligation that requires recipients to teach in low income public schools in Maryland.  At least 50% of the students in the public school must be eligible for free or reduced price meals (FRPM).  Undergraduate students must teach in these schools for 1 year for each year that they receive the scholarship and graduate students must teach in these schools for at least 2 years.
  • Students who don’t fulfill these teaching requirements must repay all of these scholarship funds with interest.

Minimum Eligibility Criteria Include:

  • Undergraduate or Graduate teaching majors
  • Maryland residency
  • Minimum 3.3 GPA

For full details, see the Teaching Fellows for Maryland Scholarship Program.

To apply, complete the Teaching Fellows for Maryland Scholarship Application.   The deadline to submit the application and all required documentation is October 31, 2019.  All applications and required documentation must be submitted directly to MHEC.

For application questions, please contact MHEC at 410-767-3300 or osfamail.mhec@maryland.gov.
