The GROW Consortium is a group of four school districts (Cambridge, Lodi, Sauk Prairie, and Wisconsin Heights) who offer two tiers of scholarships to students who are committed to teaching.
The GROW 2 scholarship is available to students who are in their 3rd-6th semester of college and who have declared a major in education. The scholarship is $2000 (paid in $1000 installments); while preference is given to alumni of Cambridge, Lodi, Sauk Prairie, and Wisconsin Heights school districts, we will award scholarships to non-alumni as well. The application for the GROW 2 scholarship is available here: https://forms.gle/M5aFuzGpV5HLv7pVA
There are four scholarships available.
The GROW 3 scholarship is available to students who will be student teaching and graduating during the 2025-2026 school year. The GROW 3 scholarship is $10,000. If awarded the scholarship, winners sign a contract that they will apply and interview in the four districts (Lodi, Cambridge, Sauk Prairie, or Wisconsin Heights) and if offered a contract, work for the district for three years. While preference is given to alumni of Cambridge, Lodi, Sauk Prairie, and Wisconsin Heights school districts, we will award scholarships to non-alumni as well. The application for the GROW scholarship is available here: https://forms.gle/KSstEsFg3GZfB88K8

Many see dissecting frogs as a rite of passage for middle school kids.
