Holmes Scholar

The Rowan University College of Education is proud to be a part of the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE) Holmes Scholar Program. Holmes Scholars are high-achieving students who are from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds pursuing doctoral degrees in education. Scholars are selected based on their achievements and their commitment to equity and diversity.

Rowan University Holmes Scholars enjoy the benefit of mentorship at the collegiate and national level, professional development opportunities, and enriching peer relationships. Through Holmes’ affiliation with AACTE, Rowan University scholars are invited to present their research at the AACTE annual conference as well as participate in the AACTE Holmes Scholars Summer Policy Institute and the AACTE Day on the Hill.
