Each of these three exams, plus the pedagogy exam are eligible for reimbursement, but the pedagogy Praxis exam is not required for DP 2. The Principles of Learning and Teaching pedagogy exam is best taken after student teaching is completed.
The application must be approved by Financial Aid because the awards are based on demonstrated financial need from the FAFSA.

The Donald Mount Scholarship
The Mount family has been a wonderful and generous benefactor of the Hanover Education Program. In addition to the building, furniture, and technology upgrades in Newby Hall financed by the late Don Mount '50 (in memory of his wife, Fern), the Mounts also endowed a scholarship for future teachers at Hanover College. Please inquire about this via the Financial Aid Office. These are gifts that will keep giving for generations to come and we are proud to honor this fine gentleman's memory with a plaque and portrait in Newby Hall. Mr. Mount was injured in WWII and attended Hanover College afterward. He never forgot the kindness of the people who made it possible for him to get a degree and enjoy a successful career after Hanover.
The late Mr. Donald Mount '50 is pictured above shaking hands with former President, Dr. Sue DeWine on September 6, 2012, when Hanover College dedicated the Technology Lab and Model Classroom from his gift. Mount chose the education building because many of Fern Mount's family were teachers and continue to become teachers today.

Admission odds
Generally speaking, early action programs do not significantly increase your child's odds of getting into colleges, especially at highly selective schools. They simply allow your child to find out sooner whether or not they've gotten in.
