Honor a Great Teacher: Create Opportunity for Others

NCCAT’s Honored Educator Scholarship Program gives tribute to outstanding individuals and educators by providing scholarship funds in their names. Scholarship funds can be named in honor of classroom teachers, coaches, administrators, school board members, or community volunteers—anyone who has made a positive difference in the field of education. Donors can establish scholarships with preference for teachers from a geographic area or an academic discipline. NCCAT administers each scholarship that reaches the endowment goal of $25,000.

These scholarships make it possible for NCCAT to serve more teachers by supplementing the annual state allocation. Each named scholarship will be awarded annually to a North Carolina teacher, who also will receive a $250 cash award for a classroom project.
