Rost Family Trust Biology K-12 Education Scholarship

The Rost Family Scholarship recognizes the critical role K-12 science teachers play in sparking the curiosity of young minds. The Rost Family Scholarship will support one student graduating during the 2023-24 academic year with a degree from any College of Biological Sciences major. The graduating senior must be committed to becoming a K-12 science teacher following graduation and accepted into a teaching credential program. The selection of the scholarship recipient is also based on academic merit, which requires a minimum cumulative grade point average (currently 3.25).

NOTE: All qualified applicants must verify acceptance into a teaching credential program starting in 2025.
