Scholarships

Teacher Education and Administration offers a number of scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students. The due date for applications is March 1. Although the criteria vary for these scholarships, the same application form is used for all.

The application requirements and instructions are as follows:

An applicant should complete the online application form.

In addition to the application form, a one-page essay (1" margins and 12-point font) is required. It should be submitted with the application and should include the following information:

  • What are your professional goals and how would a scholarship help you achieve your goals?
  • How have your prior experiences, such as informal teaching experience and volunteer work, provided a path toward accomplishing your professional goals?
  • Also to be submitted with the application are unofficial electronic copies of transcripts from colleges or universities the applicant has attended. The applicant should have those ready to submit when completing the application.

Also required are two recommendations from individuals who can evaluate the applicant with respect to the scholarship. These recommendations must be on the specific recommendation form provided by the department, and they should be sent directly to Destinie Noles at destinie.noles@unt.edu. Recommendations must be on the form; letters will NOT be accepted in lieu of the recommendation form.

 

There are also a number of scholarships available to all students in the College of Education.
