From Para to Teacher: A Success Story Made Possible by You

From Para to Teacher: A Scholarship Success Story

The Para to Teacher Scholarship is designed to help dedicated staff take the next step in their careers, and one recent recipient’s journey shows just how transformative this support can be.

“The Para to Teacher scholarship played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my goal of becoming an educator. It provided crucial financial support that allowed me to focus on both my academic and professional growth. I recently earned my bachelor’s degree from Chadron State College and am now honored to serve as a 7th-grade English Language Arts teacher. I am also pursuing a Master’s Degree in English to continue advancing in the field. I am deeply grateful to Scottsbluff Public Schools for the opportunity to grow within the district, and to the Scottsbluff Schools Foundation for believing in and investing in my future.”

Stories like this illustrate the heart of the Scottsbluff Schools Foundation’s mission: to invest in people, create opportunities, and build a stronger future for our schools and community. By providing financial support through the Para to Teacher scholarship, we are helping passionate, hardworking individuals continue their education and return to the classroom as teachers — right here in Scottsbluff.

We are so proud of this recipient’s accomplishments and can’t wait to see the positive impact she will continue to make on students.
