- Recruit and retain greater numbers of teacher education candidates in North Carolina.
- Recipients will be required to teach for four years in a school system in the Latham Clinical schools network.
Tutoring and Mentoring Programs
- Lane Scholars are part of the Education Living-Learning Community during their freshmen year and will take a special section of COAD 1000 in order to help with the transition to college.
- Freshmen and Sophomores mentor with local after- school clubs and nonprofit agencies, focusing on motivating at-risk youths.
Cultural Enrichment
- Lane Scholars have the opportunity to travel for cultural and educational experiences.
- Highlights include attending Broadway shows, visiting local public schools, taking city tours, dining at nice restaurants, and experiencing a variety of cultures.
Seminars and Community Service
