Foundation – Student Scholarships

In addition to grants for teachers, the Foundation offers a variety of scholarships for students. Learn more about the scholarship opportunities and how to apply below.

Teachers Make a Difference, sponsored by the North Central Education Foundation, offers a $1,000 scholarship for high school seniors and college students in the North Central ESD area who are interested in pursuing a career in education.

Students are invited to apply for the scholarship by writing a 1,000 word essay describing the following:

• “A teacher who has made a difference in my life.”
• “Why I want to become a teacher.”

The essay needs to be submitted, along with a completed 2024 application form, to the Teachers Make a Difference committee by April 15, 2024. Consideration will also be given to grades, activities and financial need. A finalist and alternate will be selected from the applications. The top essays will be included in the next edition of Teachers Make a Difference, which will be published to help fund a scholarship the following year. Please note that you may attach letters of recommendation rather than using the recommendation form.

Please call Eldene Wall at 509.669.6838 or e-mail eldenew@ncesd.org if you have questions about the application or process.

This grant opportunity provided by the Friends of Lower Grand Coulee is available to all districts in the North Central ESD region.
