HONOLULU (PREL) — Pacific Resources for Education and Learning is accepting applications for the annual Pacific Teacher Scholarships.
PREL created the scholarship fund in 2004 in an effort to increase the number of qualified teachers and librarians working in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific. Seventeen aspiring teachers in the region have already been awarded $500 scholarships.
Scholarships are awarded to students who are in their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of studies in an accredited teacher preparation program.
Applicants must reside in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the Republic of Palau, and intend to teach in a public school in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific region.
To apply for the scholarship, visit PREL’s Web site or contact your local PREL service center.
Application forms and instructions on how to apply are available on the Web at www.prel.org/scholarship. All application materials must be received at the Honolulu PREL office by April 1.
