Scholarships

Students in Elmhurst’s Department of Education are eligible to apply for a number of special scholarships, including:

Golden Apple Scholarships
Elmhurst College is one of 53 Illinois institutions whose education students are eligible to receive scholarships from the Golden Apple Foundation, best known for its Excellence in Teaching awards. Golden Apple Scholars receive up to $18,000 in scholarship funding and paid summer training opportunities over the course of four college years with the understanding that they will teach in high-need areas in Illinois for at least five years upon graduating and meeting requirements for state teaching certification. Find out more on the Golden Apple Foundation’s Web site.

Associated Colleges of Illinois Scholarships
Because Elmhurst and its Department of Education are active members of the Associated Colleges of Illinois, education majors at Elmhurst are eligible to apply for several financial aid opportunities offered by ACI. In addition, the department has successfully partnered with other ACI colleges and universities to support ongoing partnerships between colleges and schools. Our teacher education students benefit from the many rich field and professional opportunities supported by the ACI grants.
