KHEAA TEACHER SCHOLARSHIPS 2009 – FINANCIAL AID – KENTUCKY STUDENTS
KHEAA TEACHER SCHOLARSHIPS 2009
The KHEAA Teacher Scholarship Program provides financial aid to highly qualified Kentucky students pursuing initial teacher certification at participating Kentucky institutions. All applicants must be Kentucky residents enrolled full-time (unless enrolled for the final term of a teacher certification program and less than full-time enrollment is required to complete the program). Applicants must demonstrate financial need and meet their institution’s education program GPA requirements to qualify for a KHEAA Teacher Scholarship.
As funding allows, juniors, seniors, postbaccalaureate, or graduate students may receive $2,500 for each semester; and $1,250 for summer. Freshmen and sophomores may receive $625 each semester; and $325 for summer.
If a recipient does not complete his or her institution’s education program or does not render qualified teaching service at a school certified by the Kentucky Department of Education, the scholarship becomes a loan and the recipient is required to repay the amount disbursed with 6% interest from the date of disbursement.
Apply: To apply, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and a Teacher Scholarship application. You can obtain up to three paper copies of the FAFSA by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center toll free at 800.433.3243 or you can apply online.

Make sure KHEAA receives your Teacher Scholarship application and the results of your FAFSA need analysis from the Central Processor by May 1, 2009.
