Jeanene Yule Scholarship for Excellence in Teacher Education

The Jeanene Yule Scholarship for Excellence in Teacher Education awards four scholarships each academic year -

• Two (2) scholarships will be awarded to eligible applicants who will be INCOMING, FIRST-YEAR students as of the upcoming fall semester;
• One (1) scholarship will be awarded to an eligible applicant who will be a SOPHOMORE as of the upcoming fall semester; and
• One (1) scholarship will be awarded to an eligible applicant who will be a JUNIOR as of the upcoming fall semester.

North Central College students who will be SENIORS as of the upcoming fall semester need not apply; these four scholarships will only be awarded to students who have first-year, sophomore, or junior academic standing.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Awarded each year to two (2) incoming first-year students, one (1) sophomore, and one (1) junior
• Must be full-time
• Must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater (on a 4.0 scale)
• An essay is required
• For incoming first-year and transfer students, an application for admission to North Central College and a high school transcript must be on file with the Admissions Office in order to be considered.

Renewal
The Jeanene Yule Scholarships may be renewed for subsequent years provided the recipient maintains a cumulative 3.0 GPA and is enrolled in a viable course sequence leading to the completion of a teacher certification program. Renewal eligibility is verified each year by the Education Department, and each year after the completion of spring term the cumulative grade point average is verified.

If you are a continuing student AND are currently receiving the Yule Scholarship, you DO NOT need to submit an application again. The Yule Scholarship will be automatically renewed provided you continue to meet the criteria of the scholarship; namely, have a 3.0 cum GPA, be full-time, and be actively working toward the completion of your education major. We will verify your status with the Education Department and your cumulative GPA will be verified at the end of the Spring Semester.
