Judith Herb College of Arts, Social Sciences and Education

The Herb Scholarship is one of the most prestigious scholarships at The University of Toledo. Awarded to a select group of high-achieving, first-year students enrolled in a Bachelor of Education (BE) degree in the Judith Herb College of Arts, Social  Sciences and Education, the Herb Scholarship covers the cost of full-time, in-state tuition (18 undergraduate credit hours per semester) — plus room and board for four years. 

Recipients of the Herb Scholarship become members of the Herb Scholars Program, a special cohort of Education majors who participate in leadership development and exciting undergraduate research opportunities. All Herb Scholars are also required to participate in the Rocket Kids Program, a unique blend of service, leadership, and global experiential learning. Through this program, UToledo students provide educational development and recreational programing for youth on U.S. Military bases located in Europe, making a profound impact on young learners while also acquiring invaluable international experience.
