"Dominican University is proud to honor gifted educators and empower them to reach their maximum potential, which is exactly what they do for their own students in K-12 classrooms every day," said Colleen Reardon, Ed.D., Dean of the School of Education.

Dominican's online courses are powered by University Alliance technology that features video-based lectures students can access 24/7. Students have the freedom to study at their own pace with no campus visits required.

Successful scholarship candidates must be first-time applicants to any of Dominican's three online master's in education programs and must be able to demonstrate the positive impact they have had on the lives of others over the course of their teaching careers.
