HYPATIA SCHOLARSHIPS
1.Brief intro
The scholarships are named after the female ancient Greece philosopher, astronomer and mathematician Hypatia, in honor to her boldness, resilience and wisdom, despite the many obstacles she found in her way, because that is what we think many educators need to face global education challenges right now.
Pegasus Teacher Academy was born from a deep desire to offer better and more effective professional development for teachers. Unfortunately, not all teachers or institutions can afford professional development for all their educators and in an ongoing manner.
We want to improve this issue worldwide by offering at least 10% of the spots in all our Teacher Experiences for free.
The teachers who are awardees of these scholarships won´t pay any fees.
However, they will commit to finish at least 80% of the Teacher experience and write or record a final reflection about what they learned.
If this sounds interesting to you please take a look at the requirements and application process below.
