The Carl J. Megel Special Education Scholarship is a scholarship program that provides financial assistance to students pursuing a degree in special education. The scholarship is named in honor of Carl J. Megel, a former teacher and principal who dedicated his life to improving the lives of children with disabilities.
The scholarship is sponsored by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), a professional organization that promotes the education of children with exceptionalities and advocates for their rights.
To apply for the scholarship, students must submit an application form, official transcripts, two letters of recommendation, and a personal statement describing their career goals and commitment to the field of special education. The application deadline is typically in the fall, and winners are notified in the spring.
This scholarship is a great opportunity for students who are passionate about improving the lives of children with disabilities and are pursuing a career in special education.
