Reinhardt lands $930K grant for STEM teachers
Reinhardt University in Waleska announced it has been awarded a $930,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to provide enhanced science and math education to students planning to become high school STEM teachers.
The five-year Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program grant will create a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Teacher Education and Development Program. The money is for student scholarships, teacher stipends, research and a STEM Summer Camp.
The program will serve Reinhardt students, teachers in the Cherokee and Pickens county school districts, and students who receive an associate’s degree in a related field from Chattahoochee Technical College and enroll at Reinhardt to finish their bachelor’s degrees, officials said.
Scholarships will be available to eligible Reinhardt juniors and seniors who major in STEM biology or math and, after graduation, teach for at least two years in a Title I public school in Cherokee or Pickens county. Information: https://bit.ly/2XKWeQY
