High School student Julie Newman is among more than 300 recipients of the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship. This year, more than 1,000 students representing over 300 high schools in 90 of Indiana’s 92 counties applied for the scholarship. “Teachers are a vital component to students’ success, working to mold the future of our state,” said State Rep. Alex Zimmerman (R-North Vernon). “These scholarships help Hoosier students to earn a degree in teaching while ensuring their talent stays in Indiana to teach the next generation,” said State Rep. Jennifer Meltzer (R-Shelbyville). Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship applications for the 2026-27 school year will open in November.
