SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
The EKI Educator Collaborative accepts scholarship applications on a rolling basis. Scholarships are available to educators at any career stage for professional development opportunities including conferences, workshops, certification programs, and structured learning experiences relevant to teaching practice, mentoring, or curriculum development.
There is no application fee.
Who can apply
Any working educator may apply, classroom teachers, instructional coaches, mentor teachers, and teacher-educators. Applicants do not need to be affiliated with an EKI partner organization.
What scholarships cover
Scholarships may cover registration fees, travel, lodging, and a per diem stipend depending on the opportunity and available funding. EKI reviews each application individually and determines award amounts based on documented costs and fund availability.
How to apply
Submit the following by email to [email protected] with the subject line “Scholarship Application”:
- Your name, title, and school or organization
- A description of the professional development opportunity you are seeking funding for (name, dates, location, cost breakdown)
- A brief statement (250 words or fewer) describing how this opportunity relates to your current work and what you expect to bring back to your students, colleagues, or program
- Confirmation that your school or district is not funding this opportunity
EKI will respond to all applications within 30 days. Applications for time-sensitive opportunities should be submitted as early as possible and will note the relevant deadline.
Selection
Scholarship recipients are selected by EKI based on the relevance of the opportunity to the applicant’s teaching practice, the expected benefit to students or colleagues, and available funding.
EKI does not discriminate on the basis of school type, district affiliation, years of experience, or subject area.
