A new state scholarship program for teachers
will help as many as 500 students per year. But that`s on the
condition the students concentrate in certain areas of state
education when they graduate.
The scholarships will be for between three-thousand and
six-thousand dollars per year. In return, the students will have to
teach math, science or foreign language or focus on special
education. Or, the students will have to work in areas of the state
with critical teacher shortages.
The program was announced today by Lieutenant Governor Winthrop
Rockefeller.
Rockefeller says the program will get $1.5 million per year in state money. He says that this year there are
264 qualified applicants.
