Apply by Feb. 21 for VIA teacher scholarships
The Village Improvement Association of Rehoboth Beach is accepting applications for two Lowe II Advanced Teaching Scholarships of $5,000 each for use toward a master’s degree in education or related fields.
To be eligible, applicants must be employed by the Cape Henlopen School District or the Sussex Technical School District; currently enrolled in a master’s degree program at an accredited nonprofit university with six credit hours earned by Monday, Feb. 3; and enrolled in an education-related field, but administrative and counseling programs are excluded.
Candidates must complete the application form, provide official undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and submit two letters of recommendation, one from a current administrator and one from a current professor or advisor. Applications must be submitted by Friday, Feb. 21.
Last year’s scholarship recipients were Khara Bauer, an ESL teacher at Rehoboth Elementary School in the Cape Henlopen School District, and Stephanie Pegelow, an English teacher at Sussex Technical High School.
To apply, go to www.rehobothbeachvia.org, and find the Advanced Teaching Scholarship form under Grants & Awards tab.

Funds for the scholarships are provided to the VIA by a grant from the Lowe II Foundation. All awards are given without discrimination as to race, sex or creed. The Village Improvement Association and the Lowe II Foundation are both nonprofit organizations.
