LEARNING CLUB SCHOLARSHIP
The Learning Club has established a Learning Club Academy Intern Scholarship for USD 500 high school seniors who are pursuing careers in education.
The Learning Club Academy Scholarship will be awarded annually in May to one or more high school interns who are entering college. This four-year, merit- and need-based scholarship is intended to contribute to the tuition and educational expenses at the recipient’s chosen higher-education institution.
This scholarship will be dispersed to the recipient after successfully completing the Learning Club Academy Teaching Internship, enrolling in an institution of higher learning, and declaring education as the intended major area of study.
The scholarship amount of $1,500 or more will be based on student need and will be dispersed in four installments in the fall of each year. The scholarship benefits will continue as long as the student is enrolled in a teacher preparation program (for up to four years, or five if pursuing a master’s degree) at any chosen institution of higher education.
