Teachers Test Prep Scholarship

Each year, Teachers Test Prep awards two $5,000 scholarships: one to an aspiring elementary school teacher and one to an aspiring secondary school teacher. Funds go directly to the recipients to use in whatever way will be most helpful to them as they work towards their accreditation. To enter, applicants simply need to create a short video telling the story of a teacher who inspired them, and what they learned from that teacher that they’d like to pass on to the students they will teach. Applications close on July 31, 2024.



If you have any questions about the scholarships, please feel free to get in touch with us at info@teacherstestprep.com.
