Elliott Fellowship for Professional Renewal

The F. George Elliott Scholarship Fund was an endowment of over $250,000 to the Sonoma State University School of Education. The endowment each year awards two scholarships for graduate study at Sonoma State University; one for an outstanding student teacher, and the other for a Santa Rosa City School middle school, junior high, or high school teacher. Recipients of these scholarships are known as Elliott Scholars.

Professor George Elliott worked for many years supervising student teachers in middle schools and junior and senior high schools in the Santa Rosa City School District. He was dedicated to quality teacher education, and worked closely with many master teachers and school administrators in Santa Rosa schools to achieve that end. This $4,000 scholarship is his legacy to the middle level, junior high, and senior high teachers of the Santa Rosa City School District. To be eligible, applicants must have completed at least one year of teaching in the Santa Rosa City School District, and still be employed with SRCS when the scholarship is applied to MA tuition.

The application deadline for 2024 was February 16th.
