About This Scholarship

The Applegate-Jackson-Parks Future Teacher Scholarship may be an excellent opportunity for undergraduate or graduate students interested in applying “Right to Work” principles in education. This scholarship, funded by the National Institute of Labor Relations Research, was established to honor three Michigan public school teachers terminated solely because they declined to pay union fees. The scholarship grants one $1,000 award annually to the education student who best exemplifies the principles and professional standards of these three Michigan teachers – Carol Applegate, Kay Jackson, and Dr. Anne Parks.
