The Sally Ann Chos Scholarship provides financial assistance to students from Eveleth-Gilbert High School who plan a career in primary or secondary education, with a preference for those who want to teach elementary students.
Generally, awards are divided into spring and fall installments and are renewable once, assuming proper academic progress (GPA of 2.5 or greater) is maintained in an education major. The scholarship is awarded in the student’s first and final year in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. This gives the student the opportunity to test aptitude and interest in a teaching degree as well as an incentive to complete the degree with the help of a scholarship in the final year of studies.
