Description
The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) offers the Higher Education Grant as part of its support for educators who work academically with high school students. The program helps educators achieve professional development goals through university study, with awards directed toward tuition and course-related expenses for teachers and counselors.
The grant connects educators’ advanced study with benefits for their students. Applicants explain the advanced degree or degrees they are pursuing, how that study will benefit students, and why advanced degrees matter for other educators. Registered NSHSS Educators working in the United States or internationally are eligible to apply.
