High school seniors are invited to apply for an Albert Shanker Scholarship. The process is easier than ever with our new online portal.

Candidates must be financially eligible and be accepted in a full-time, matriculated, degree-granting program at an accredited college or university. We believe that education is the gateway to a productive life. This opportunity will instill a greater sense of belonging — and motivation — for your child to make it through their higher education. The new deadline to apply for a $5,000 scholarship is Tuesday, Feb. 28.
