About This Opportunity

This scholarship offers support to Native Americans working to become licensed teachers in schools throughout the State of Wisconsin. The supported programs must result in a license. Proof of membership in a federally or state-recognized tribe is required to be accepted to the program. Funding from this grant is contingent upon a service payback obligation, meaning that it will not need to be paid back if graduates seek employment in qualifying schools in the state of Wisconsin. Financial support covers the cost of tuition, books, initial licensing exams, a one-time allowance for a laptop as needed, and a stipend for general expenses. This is a comprehensive scholarship program specifically designed to increase the number of Native American licensed teachers in Wisconsin schools, addressing both educational access and workforce development in indigenous communities.
