Foundation Scholarships

White, Anna M. Elementary Education

This scholarship is available to assist a junior or senior level Elementary Education major with an above average GPA who has financial need. The student must have illustrated within the department that they are serious about a career in the teaching field. The award is open to students from any geographical region but it is intended for an undergraduate upper-level student. There may be multiple awards or full tuition awards when sufficient income has been generated in the principal fund as determined by the Foundation. Seniors who had received the award as juniors should apply again for their senior year.
