Retired Educators in Montgomery County are seeking to reward college-bound students who are interested in a career in public school education.
Montgomery County Retired Educators Association (MCREA) is offering at least one scholarship to a student who is graduating this spring from one of the county’s four high schools. The scholarship is aimed at graduates who are attending college to pursue a degree in education.
Information and scholarship applications will be distributed to guidance counselors in February and must be submitted by March 31.
At least one $1,000 scholarship is typically awarded, and in some years, more than one applicant is awarded a scholarship. Selection is based on financial need, grades, extra-curricular achievements and teacher/community recommendations. In addition, each application includes an essay and enumeration of the applicant’s school and community activities and achievements, which are also considered by the committee.
MCREA has presented one or more scholarships per year since at least 2004.
