The IMPACT Scholarship Program said it recognizes students for their achievements while spotlighting the teachers and professors who helped them reach those milestones.
The program said students can apply for scholarships by sharing the story of an educator who made a lasting difference in their lives. It said scholarship recipients will receive financial support tied to those submissions.
The IMPACT Scholarship Program said the influence of a great teacher often continues after a semester ends and follows students beyond the classroom.
The program said it plans to share more student stories and celebrate educators as it expands the scholarship initiative. It said it is “just getting started” and encouraged people to follow the program for updates.
