Honor a Great Teacher: Create Opportunity for Others
NCCAT’s Honored Educator Scholarship Program provides donors with an opportunity to pay tribute to outstanding individuals and educators by establishing scholarship funds in their names. Scholarships are created to honor classroom teachers, coaches, administrators, school board members, or community volunteers—anyone who has made a positive difference in the field of education. An endowment of $25,000 is needed to fully fund a scholarship. Each fully endowed scholarship is awarded annually to a North Carolina teacher. Scholarship funds cover program costs and also provide recipients with a $250 cash award for a classroom project. Many donors choose to establish a scholarship that gives preference to recipients from a specific geographic area or academic discipline. NCCAT administers the awarding of each scholarship with careful adherence to the donor’s direction.
