    About this scholarship

    This scholarship program supports graduating seniors from public high schools in specific Louisiana parishes who intend to pursue a college degree in education. Designed to assist students with financial need, the fund aims to help the next generation of teachers make a meaningful difference in their communities. While open to all education majors, the selection process gives special preference to applicants who plan to specialize in music education, those who have been involved with the Educators Rising organization, and those who intend to complete their higher education at a public university. The program provides annual funding to selected recipients, who must submit a renewal application each year to continue receiving support during their college journey.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
