The Indiana Commission for Higher Education recently awarded 200 Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarships. Twelve of the recipients will be joining the Indiana Wesleyan University community and pursuing an education degree. Matthew Lacy from Parke Heritage High School is one of them.
Students were selected through a competitive process and will receive $7,500 annually (up to $30,000 total) for committing to teach in Indiana for at least five years after graduating college. Students needed to have a 3.5 cumulative GPA, graduate in the top 20% of their high school class or earn a score in the 20th percentile on the ACT or SAT to qualify for the scholarship.
