Dr. and Mrs. Robert Scherr Endowment Fund

This endowment was created to provide a scholarship to current students who demonstrate financial need from FAFSA with an overall GPA of 3.0 or better. Candidates must meet at least one of the following criteria: enrolled in the special education track/minor; enrolled in courses in preparation for certification in special education; or a current student meeting special education certification requirement (taking and passing Praxis II in special education). Special consideration will be given with a focus in communication and/or learning disabilities. Can be renewed for one additional year if awarded as a junior and criteria is still met.

Since this scholarship requires FAFSA and financial need, final consideration of applications submitted will be to students who demonstrate financial need from the FAFSA once we have the data loaded in the scholarship site in late January. You may be removed from consideration if you do not have financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
