Do you have dedicated staff in your district who are ready to take the next step in their educational journey, whether that’s earning a Transition to Teaching certification, completing a bachelor’s degree, or pursuing a master’s in education?

Thanks to a continued partnership between INAPEF and the American College of Education (ACE), we’re thrilled to offer four full-tuition scholarships exclusively for employees in INAPEF member districts.

• Only full-time staff members employed by an INAPEF member district are eligible to apply
• What’s covered? Full tuition at ACE for an eligible educator program starting in 2027
• What’s not covered? Scholarship recipients are responsible for enrollment and technology fees, typically totaling $1,500–$2,000, depending on the program

Whether your team includes instructional assistants, bus drivers, custodial staff, food service workers, looking to transition to teaching through a certificate or bachelor's degree, or current educators seeking a master's degree, this is an incredible opportunity to support career advancement across your district.

Applications for the 2027 Scholarships will open in November 2026.

Foundation Leaders: Please share this scholarship opportunity with your district’s HR department leaders. This opportunity is made possible through a partnership between INAPEF and the American College of Education.
