Hale ’21 Awarded $5,000 Strong Scholarship
Jenny Hale ’21 (Bachelor of Music in Music Education) was awarded a $5,000 scholarship award from the Hattie M. Strong Foundation (HMSF) to defray costs during student teaching in the spring semester.
Hale is student teaching at Meadowland Elementary School with cooperating teacher Holly Hoey-Johnson ’10 (Bachelor of Music in Music Education) and My-Van Nguyen at Dominion High School, both of which are in Loudoun County. Visit hattie.org/our-programs/scholarship-program to learn more.
This is the ninth year the HMSF has provided scholarships for Shenandoah students who are seeking initial teacher licensure and who demonstrate promise as future teachers.
HMSF is a charitable private foundation incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1928. The foundation’s activities consist of the administration of a scholarship program and a grant program. The scholarship program is aimed at college students enrolled in teacher-training programs at selected partnering institutions. The scholarship funds are intended to ease the financial pressure during the student-teaching semester, when a student’s ability to offset expenses with outside employment is curtailed by the rigor of full-time work in the classroom.
