Teacher Education Scholarship

Maranatha has trained Christian educators for more than 40 years. Our graduates teach around the world in every imaginable educational setting. The Teacher Education Scholarship has been implemented to encourage those called to educational ministry.

Details

The potential $14,000 scholarship (up to $3,500 per year for four years) is intended for those enrolled in the School of Education.

Teacher Education Scholarship Criteria

Scholarship applicants must:

Apply for the scholarship before arriving as a student.
Have a major in the School of Education.
Be a new student at Maranatha and carry at least 12 credit hours of Maranatha residential (main campus) class work each semester. Hours taken at other institutions do not count toward the 12 hours at Maranatha.
Live in a Maranatha residence hall.
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) no later than 30 days after the start of their first semester. The scholarship will not be applied to the student’s account until the FAFSA is complete.

Maintaining scholarship eligibility:

Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirements: Semester final grades (cumulative GPA) determine eligibility for the following semester.
- FRESHMEN must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher at the end of their second semester.
- SOPHOMORES (having less than 59 credits) must have a cumulative GPA of 2.25 or higher at the end of each semester.
- JUNIORS AND SENIORS (59 credits or more) must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher at the end of each semester.
The FAFSA must be completed for each school year by Nov. 1/April 1 of the appropriate semester.
The award will be disbursed to the student’s account on or about December 1 and April 25 of each year, provided the student has maintained eligibility.
Moving out of Maranatha residence halls will result in a reduction of the scholarship award amount in the current semester utilizing the percentage applicable to the student’s prorated room and board refund. Further, moving out of Maranatha residence halls will result in loss of eligibility for the scholarship for future semesters.
The scholarship will not be credited any semester the recipient has more than 125 demerits (100 if on disciplinary probation).

A limited number of Teacher Education Scholarships are available each year.

Students are eligible to receive only one Maranatha-sponsored scholarship unless otherwise noted. A student may not qualify for more than eight semesters.

Once a student loses eligibility, the scholarship is forfeited.

The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to discontinue or reduce any scholarship and/or make changes to the scholarship criteria.
