IL had a grant they started for future teachers that awarded between $5-10k per year to students studying in certain subject areas and those who promised to teach in low-income school districts. (Which coincidentally, about half the schools in our immediate vicinity qualify).
The program was so popular they ran out of money and can't award them to everyone who qualified.
There goes that idea! Oh well. The extra $ towards school would have been nice, but I'll find a way to make it work regardless
