Published: January 26, 2022
The Penn GSE Empowerment Through Education Scholarship Program provides significant funding for students in the Mid-Career Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership and the Urban Teaching Apprenticeship Program each year.
The scholarship will be awarded to future teachers and educational leaders who are members of underrepresented groups or who demonstrate a longstanding commitment to serving marginalized populations. The program aims to build a diverse, robust, and highly talented community of educators and leaders who will be positioned to reframe education in the 21st century, especially in underserved communities.
“We are thrilled that this program has been made possible through the generous support of our donors,” says Penn GSE Dean Pam Grossman. “The scholarship will have an incredible impact on Penn GSE, advancing our deep commitment to access and inclusion and strengthening our efforts to create a national model that prepares teachers and educational leaders to develop and implement innovative and replicable practices.”
