Local student Madeline Danforth of Plymouth High School is among this year's recipients of the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, according to State Rep. Jack Jordan (R-Bremen).
The scholarship program, established in 2016 through legislation passed by the Indiana General Assembly, awards recipients a renewable scholarship of up to $10,000 per year (up to $40,000 total) to high-achieving high school and college students who agree to teach in an eligible Indiana school for five years. A record-breaking 1,091 students applied for the 2025-2026 Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship, with nearly 300 scholarships awarded.
"A great teacher can inspire young Hoosiers to want to be at school every day and learn more," Jordan said. "I'm encouraged to see so many students choose a career path that has a profound impact on others."
Jordan said those qualifying for the scholarship must graduate in the top 20 percent of their high school class, earn a score in the 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT, or have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
