GYO Scholarships Available

Grow Your Own (GYO) programs are partnerships between approved educator preparation programs in Minnesota, school districts or charter schools, and community organizations that recruit and prepare local community members (e.g., parents, para educators, non-certified school staff, high school students) to enter the teaching profession and possibly teach in their communities. Monticello Public Schools has received a GYO grant and will use the funding to provide scholarships to qualified applicants over the next 5 years.  Scholarships will range from $10,000 - $20,000 per year per applicant, depending upon the level of interest and MDE guidelines for funding.
