<p>i plan on eventually becoming a high school drama teacher. i’m planning on probably double majoring in education and theatre.</p>
<p>does anyone know any scholarships/grants for students who plan to eventually become teachers? i’ve heard of some, but most require you to eventually pay off your debt by becoming a teacher in a high-need field… which doesn’t include drama.</p>
<p>BUMP… also curious.</p>
<p>I think there are programs to forgive % of student loan debt for each year, up to 5, of teaching in a high needs school. Problem – many high needs schools cant afford drama classes – so you may have to double major in english and drama and actually teach english. Good news – many of the high needs schools are in urban areas which have lots of arts.</p>
<p>Have you checked into scholarships at your high school? Sometimes school administrators give scholarships to kids who are thinking of going into teaching.</p>
<p>Check out FAFSA home page.TEACH grants.
$4k grant/yr if you plan to teach in a low income area of the country

This is a new program, different from Teach for America.
Not sure if a Drama Teacher qualifies but it may!</p>
