(Indianapolis, IN) – Applications for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship are now open for high school seniors and college students considering a career in teaching.
This renewable scholarship provides $10,000 per year for up to four academic years to students who commit to teaching in-state for at least five years after graduation at an eligible Indiana school or repay the corresponding, prorated amount of the scholarship.
This program helps reduce the costs of college while making a meaningful impact in the lives of students across the state.
Indiana has a growing need for talented educators, and this scholarship is a crucial investment in the future of our classrooms. Aspiring educators who commit to teaching in Indiana will play a vital role in shaping the next generation of leaders and learners.
To be eligible for this scholarship, students must meet the following requirements:
• Graduate from an Indiana-accredited high school or a non-accredited nonpublic high school; and
• Rank in the top 20% of their high school graduating class, have a top 20% ACT or SAT score, or maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
The 2024-2025 application is available online at ScholarTrack, with a deadline of January 31, 2025. Applicants will be notified of their scholarship status by April 2025.
In addition to an increase in the scholarship award amount to $10,000, a law passed in 2023 removed the cap on the number of recipients, meaning even more students will have access to this opportunity.
If you’re passionate about teaching and want to help build a bright future for Indiana’s students, I strongly encourage you to apply. This scholarship is a great way to start your journey in education while making a long-lasting difference in the state.
For more information, please reach out to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education at NextTeacher@che.in.gov.
