Our Scholarship Program

The Oregon Council on Economic Education provides scholarships to teachers in support of their mission to teach economics.  It is our intent to help teachers of economics and personal finance develop their skills in teaching economics and personal finance in Oregon Schools. We have created two scholarships; 1) a Masters program for Educators Teaching Economics at the University of Delaware, or equivalent program and 2) for teachers who want to take “one off” classes to further their education in teaching economics and personal finance. 

Masters Program:

We will award up to $2500 per year toward the cost of the program.  Programs eligible for the scholarship include the Masters program for Educators Teaching Economics at the University of Delaware or equivalent programs.  (https://www.udel.edu/academics/colleges/grad/prospective-students/programs/economics-entrepreneurship-for-educators/ Teachers must be a current OR teacher, at public, parochial or private schools. Teacher must be teaching in K – 12 classroom.   

"One off" program:

We will award funds (amount to be determined based upon availability of funds) toward the cost of taking “one off” classes to further the teachers knowledge in teaching personal finance and economics.  Teachers must be a current OR teacher at either public, parochial or private schools. Teacher must be teaching in K – 12 classroom.
