STATEHOUSE (June 25, 2025) – Local students preparing to become teachers are among this year's recipients of the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, according to State Rep. Craig Snow (R-Warsaw).
The scholarship program, established in 2016 through legislation passed by the Indiana General Assembly, awards a renewable scholarship of up to $10,000 per year (up to $40,000 total) to high-achieving high school and college students who agree to teach in an eligible Indiana school for five years. A record-breaking 1,091 students applied for the 2025-2026 Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, with nearly 300 scholarships awarded.
"Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarships are a great way for young students to focus on their education without worrying about the financial strains of paying for college," Snow said. "These Hoosiers are not only investing in their future but also the state's and our next generation."
This year, these local students were among the scholarship recipients:
Snow said those qualifying for the scholarship must graduate in the top 20 percent of their high school class, earn a score in the 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT, or have a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
