To make scholarships available to individuals who are outstanding secondary school graduates or exceptional certified leaders and who demonstrate a commitment to and capacity for the profession of teaching, in order to enable and encourage those individuals to pursue teaching careers in education at the preschool, elementary or secondary level or improve their teaching skills through further education.
Requires State agreements to require such scholarship recipients to teach full-time, in a public or private licensed preschool, elementary, or secondary school in any State, for at least: (1) two years for every year of full-time assistance; or (2) one year for every year of part-time assistance. Requires that such teaching: (1) occur within the ten-year period after they complete the postsecondary education for which the scholarship was awarded; and (2) not exceed six years. Reduces such teaching agreement requirements by one-half in the case of individuals who teach in shortage areas established by the Secretary.
