Reinhardt Receives Nearly $1 Million STEM Education Grant The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded Reinhardt University the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program grant. The nearly $1 million federal grant will fund Reinhardts STEM Teacher Education and Development Program, which will provide enhanced science and math education for students seeking to be high school teachers. Provost Mark Roberts and Associate Provost Jacob Harney, who also serves as the dean of Reinhardts School of Mathematics and Sciences, spearheaded the grant writing project with several university education and science faculty. I commend the creative and collaborative effort of the Reinhardt faculty, who imagined and wrote the grant. They listened to the needs of our students and our communities, as Reinhardt continues to pave the way for student success, said Reinhardt President Kina S. Mallard.Over five years, Reinhardt is expected to receive $930,000 for the STEM Teacher Education and Development Program to fund student scholarships, teacher stipends, research, and a STEM summer camp. The program will serve Reinhardt students, as well as teachers from Cherokee County School District and Pickens County School District.The scholarship funds will be distributed to eligible Reinhardt juniors and seniors who major in biology or math. After graduating, recipients will take their knowledge to a Title I public school in Cherokee or Pickens County and teach for at least two years.
