Harold S. Vincent Scholarships
The
Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association established the Harold
S. Vincent Scholarship Fund in
appreciation and recognition of Mr. Vincent’s
dedication and many contributions to education,
particularly teaching, on the national, state
and local levels. Mr. Vincent retired as Superintendent
of Milwaukee Public Schools in 1966.
Scholarship
Selection Criteria
The MTEA grants financial aid in the form of five $1000
scholarships to graduating students from MPS
who plan to continue their education at a college
or university (two or four year).
The winners are selected
based on the content and quality of their essay. The
Board of Trustees also consider the student’s
scholarship and leadership ability.
Priority is given
to students planning to enter the teaching field.
Application
Procedure
Students
must fill out a brief application,
and write a one-page essay on the topic, "the teacher
who has had the greatest impact on my life." These
items, along with a high school transcript must be submitted
to the MTEA building usually by the first week in May.
The
scholarship awards ceremony is held in conjunction with
MTEA's annual Retiree Recognition Dinner.
If
you have any questions, please contact Kris
Collett of the MTEA staff at 414-259-1990.
We Need Your Help
The
Board of Trustees of the Scholarship Fund is eager to
continue this tradition of offering scholarships to
well-deserving MPS seniors, but we will run out of funds
in a few short years unless we make a concerted effort
to grow the Fund.
That's where you come in.
We ask, knowing that there are many other worthy causes
competing for your generosity, that you continue to place
education at the top of your priority list.
Please consider
making a gift to the Harold S. Vincent Scholarship Fund
today. Your gift, no matter the amount, will go a long
way in keeping the Fund, and students' dreams alive.
To make a tax-deductible donation, write your check
out to: Harold S. Vincent Scholarship Fund, and send
it to the MTEA Building, c/o Vincent Scholarship Fund,
5130 West Vliet Street, Milwaukee, WI 53208.
Thank you!
