Jack J. Isgur Foundation

Beginning with the 2001-2002 academic year, the Isgur Foundation has awarded scholarships to students that desire to teach in the humanities in grades K to 8th upon graduation, preferably in rural Missouri or Kansas schools.

Scholarship Criteria

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide funds for students majoring in education at four-year colleges. The Foundation provides funds to students who are entering their junior (or subsequent) year of college and who have indicated a desire to teach the humanities (e.g., literature, philosophy, fine arts, music, art or poetry) at the elementary or middle school levels. The Foundation prefers to provide funds to students who are interested in teaching within the State of Missouri or Kansas in rural rather than metropolitan districts.
