» As an IndividualLearning never stops...even for educators
Teachers know better than anyone that learning never stops. So for America's educators, The Franklin Foundation has developed a specialized scholarship that helps them expand their current education to new heights, helping them deliver a richer educational experience to America's children.

Eligible scholarship recipients must hold a degree and valid teaching certification, and are working to obtain a graduate degree, post bachelor's. Eligible recipients should also have a financial need for scholarship, and must be a U.S. citizen.
Scholarship
The scholarship awards up to $10,000 annually for money towards tuition, books, or technology needs. Up to $20,000 is available per recipient over 2 years. Recipients working toward a different teaching certification are eligible to receive up to $6,000 to cover program expenses or $12,000 over 2 years.
