[Cpcommunicator] GlaxoSmithKline Teacher Preparation Scholarship/Loan Program
>From Shane Jeter
We are pleased to announce the availability of the GlaxoSmithKline
Teacher Preparation Scholarship/Loan Program for prospective teachers.
The GlaxoSmithKline Foundation, Inc., the N.C. General Assembly, and the
Bank of America have contributed more than $2 million to establish an
endowment within the N.C. Community College Foundation to support an
expanded role for North Carolina's community colleges in teacher
preparation. The endowment funds an annual grant program which provides
scholarships to prospective teachers who are enrolled in community
college degree programs tied to baccalaureate completion programs.
Scholarship awards for the 2007-2008 academic year will be awarded to a
limited number of students enrolled full-time in their first or second
year of a community college degree program. In addition, students must
be enrolled in a degree program that is transferable to a baccalaureate
degree in elementary or secondary education. The total award per student
will be $2,500 per semester for up to two consecutive semesters of full
time study. Recipients may reapply for a second year of funding. Each
scholarship recipient must sign a promissory note for each award which
will be forgiven as the teaching obligation is fulfilled. Applications
are available through the CPCC Financial Aid Website.
The application deadline is July 23, 2007.
