The Scholarship America Veteran Scholarship for Educators supports U.S. Armed Forces veterans who plan to continue serving their communities by pursuing careers in the K-12 school system. This program offers financial assistance to veterans pursuing degrees in education, or school-based counseling, school-based social work or school psychology, supporting their journey toward meaningful careers within the K-12 school system. Applicants must have served in the United States military, to include the Reserves, National Guard and Coast Guard. They must be an honorably discharged veteran, no longer drilling or serving by July 2026. Applicants must provide one of the following documents before award disbursement: Certificate or Letter of Eligibility from the Department of Veteran Affairs; or DD214 or other document proving honorable service. They may be pursuing a degree or state-approved certificate in education or school-based counseling, school-based social worker, or school psychology, with the intent to work in the K-12 school system. Applicants may be a high school or GED graduate, current post-secondary undergraduate, or graduate-level student. Doctoral programs are not eligible. A state-approved alternative pathway to certification is also eligible. A $1,000 award will be given if the student is pursuing certification through a state-approved alternative pathway. A $5,000 award will be given if the student is pursuing a degree at a vocational-technical or two-year institution or if attending a four-year institution on a part-time basis. A $10,000 award will be given if the student is pursuing a degree at a four-year college or university on a full-time basis. Awards may be renewed for up to four additional years or until a bachelor's or master's degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Three essays are required for application.
