Apply for the Spartan Education Scholars Program
The UNCG Spartan Education Scholars program is a scholarship program for students in specific School of Education major programs and emphasizes servant leadership within a diverse and global context. As participants in this community of like-minded pre-service teachers, scholarship recipients engage in teaching-related activities designed to develop and enhance their leadership abilities, commitment to the campus and broader community, and awareness of socio-cultural considerations from the individual to the global scale.
Due to the generosity of the Marian Franklin Scholarship, the Jacqueline W. & Jack H. Varner Scholarship, the J. Barnwell & Mary Blair Allison Scholarship, and the Sandra Green Marsh Class of 1961 Endowed UNCG Teacher Education Fellows Scholarship, participation in the UNCG Spartan Education Scholars Program includes scholarships of up to $28,000. Scholarship funds for tuition are distributed incrementally, with $4,500 distributed in the first year, $5,500 distributed in the second year, and $9,000 distributed in each of the last two years, as long as eligibility requirements are maintained.
Participation in the UNCG Spartan Education Scholars program is open to incoming freshmen (first-year students) and transfer students from North Carolina who are majoring in Deaf Education, Elementary Education, Middle Grades Education, Special Education, and Dual (Elementary and Special) Education.
Among the benefits for students in the program are early access to internships, leadership development, and undergraduate research.
