Aspiring teachers would be eligible for up to $8,000 a year to help cover the cost of their education under legislation that passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Tuesday. The legislation is hoped to address the state's teacher shortage by offering an incentive that requires scholarship recipients to work at a public school in Pennsylvania for each year they received a scholarship. Students attending any public or private university or college in the state would be eligible to receive up to a maximum of $32,000.
