NWED Foundation Scholarships

NWED is excited to announce new scholarships that will help more candidates with unique backgrounds, more reflective of today's demographics, become teachers.  To aid in this we are now offering scholarships to encourage and aid the teachers most needed in schools. Scholarships are open year round and awarded on a quarterly basis. All scholarships are contingent upon the candidate's admission to the program.

​

Each scholarship is $300 (the price of a single module). Candidates may apply for more than one scholarship.  For example a diverse female teaching secondary science in a tribal school could apply for all three scholarships; an award totaling $900. 

​

Underrepresented Populations: This scholarship seeks to increase the diversity and representation of needed demographics in schools. These populations are: diversity candidates/candidates of color, women in secondary math/science, and men in elementary schools. 

​

High Need Area Endorsement: This scholarship is designed for candidate seeking endorsement in a recognized high need area.  These areas are math, science, special education and world language. 

​

Tribal School Teacher: This scholarship was inspired by the work we've done with candidates in tribal schools. Any candidate that currently works in a tribal school may qualify.
