For the third consecutive year, Ashford University will honor area educators by offering three scholarships and a "Teacher of the Year" award this spring.

"We are honored to be able to once again recognize our area's teachers in these ways," said Dr. Joen Rottler Larson, dean of Ashford University's College of Education, in announcing the 2012 program. "We encourage teachers who want to continue their education to apply for one of our scholarships and, if you have had a teacher who has made a difference in your life or the life of your child, now is the perfect time to show your appreciation by nominating him or her."
