Each awardee will receive a $475 scholarship toward their initial component of certification, reimbursement of the $75 registration fee to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, and up to $100 for mentoring support at a World Class Teaching Program. This scholarship will provide seed money for recipients to begin their National Board journey. Scholarship recipients will use the state's reimbursement of their initial component to pay for subsequent components.
