СÀ¶ÊÓƵ

On Sept. 17, over 100 faculty, staff, donors, and students and their families gathered virtually to honor scholarship and fellowship recipients and supporters at the 2021ÌýSchool of Education СÀ¶ÊÓƵship Celebration.

"We are learning many things from these unusual times, and we recognize supporting transformative educators, our students, and in turn, their students and communities is more important than ever," said Dean Kathy Schultz.

"As our scholarship offerings continue to grow with the growing needs to support students, we are incredibly grateful for our donors. The generosity of our supporters makes the future a bit brighter for our students and our school."

Warmest congratulations to all our scholarship award recipients and to the supporters who make so much possible.

Thank YouÌý

On behalf of our students, staff and faculty, we would like to thank all our scholarship donors for their generous support, including those who contribute to the general School of Education СÀ¶ÊÓƵship Fund. We could not accomplish this amazing student support without you!

There are many ways to make gifts to benefit the mission and programs of the School of Education and we feel strongly that our scholarships need to be larger in order to recruit students. If you would like to learn more about making a gift to the School of Education, please contact our Assistant Dean for Advancement Mia Axon.
