The Pacific Resources for Education and Learning announced it is now accepting applications for the annual Pacific Teacher Scholarships.

PREL created the scholarship fund in 2004 in an effort to increase the number of qualified teachers and librarians working in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific. Seventeen aspiring teachers in the region have already been awarded $500 scholarships.

Scholarships are awarded to students who are in their second, third, or fourth year of studies in an accredited teacher preparation program. Applicants must reside in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), or the Republic of Palau, and intend to teach in a public school in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific region.

To apply for a Pacific Teacher Scholarship, visit PREL’s website or contact your local PREL service center. Application forms and instructions on how to apply are available on the Web at www.prel.org/scholarship. All application materials must be received at the Honolulu PREL office by April 1, 2007.

PREL is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation that serves the educational community in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands, the continental United States, and countries throughout the world. PREL bridges the gap between research, theory, and practice in education and works collaboratively with schools and school systems to provide services that range from curriculum development to assessment and evaluation.

For further information, visit PREL’s website at www.prel.org or contact PREL Human Resources by phone at (808) 441-1300 or by fax at (808) 441-1416.
