BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Howard County Public Schools and McDaniel College announced their Teachers for Tomorrow Scholarship recipients at a college signing day event in Ellicott City Wednesday.

Teachers for Tomorrow, an innovative approach to increasing diversity among HCPSS teachers and the overall workforce while providing college access to academically talented students with limited resources, is believed to be the first program of its kind in the nation.

Selected students are being awarded full scholarships to attend McDaniel College, with a commitment to work for HCPSS for at least three years after college graduation.
