Friday is the deadline to apply for the Next Generation Hoosiers Educators Scholarship offered by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.
The scholarship, which provides up to $7,500 each year annually, is available for top performing Hoosier students who commit to teaching in Indiana for five years after earning their degrees.
To qualify, students must either graduate in the highest 20 percent of their high school class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT. To continue earning the scholarship in college, students must earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year.
Current freshmen and sophomore college students are also eligible for the scholarship, but priority will be given to high school students.
To apply, visit ScholarTrack.IN.gov. The commission will select finalists by Jan. 4 to be interviewed at regional sites across the state.
Students selected to receive the scholarship will be notified by April 5. For more information and to apply, visit in.gov/che/.
