The Horace Mann Companies are offering $30,000 in total scholarships for public and private school K-12 educators to take college courses.
One recipient will receive $5,000 in scholarship funds payable over four years, while fifteen other recipients will receive $1,000 each in scholarship funds payable over two years. Twenty additional recipients will each receive one-time awards of $500. Awards will be announced in May 2009.
Scholarship money will be paid directly to each recipient's college or university for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses.
To be eligible, applicants must be a K-12 educator currently employed by a U.S. public or private school and planning to enter a two- or four-year accredited college or university. The college must be a public or private, not-for-profit institute. Applicants must have at least two or more years of teaching experience.
Scholarship applicants will be judged on a written essay and school and community activities. Financial need is not a consideration, but applicants who have all educational expenses paid through other scholarships and/or grants are ineligible. The program is not open to residents of Hawaii, New Jersey, and New York.
