The Charles Butt Scholarship supports extraordinary students to enter the teaching profession. Charles Butt Scholarship recipients are passionate aspiring educators looking to make a difference for public school students. 

We are looking for applicants who believe in the importance of public education, are leaders in their communities, and reflect the diversity of the state of Texas. 

The Scholarship includes $8,000-$10,000 in annual funding for up to four years, professional development opportunities, mentorship, and participation in a statewide aspiring teachers network.

This year, approximately 100 scholarships will be awarded through teacher preparation programs at 10 partner universities. To be eligible, applicants must be committed to teaching in a majority-economically disadvantaged school or in a shortage subject area in a Texas public school.
