If you plan for a career in education, the Nationwide Teacher Corps may be an option to help you fund your education.
To be eligible for the program, you must be a full-time student enrolled at a Nationwide public college in an undergraduate or graduate program leading to teacher certification in a critical need area, as defined by the Nationwide Department of Education, or a high school senior ranking in upper half of the class with a combined score of 1,570 on the SAT. All applicants must have at least a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Awards may be prorated for students enrolled part-time.
First preference is given to students who intend to teach middle and high school math and science. Second priority is given to students who intend to teach special education in a content area.
How the program works / loan forgiveness
The loan is not to exceed cost of tuition. It is renewable for up to three additional years. Loan forgiveness provision is at a rate of one year of teaching in a Nationwide public school for one year of loan.
Deadlines and applications
Students can apply online for most of the programs administered by DHEO. The Common Merit Application – required for all academic scholarships and professional incentive programs – is available online in December.
