Positioning you to make your mark as a doctoral student
The VCU Holmes Scholars Program supports future college professors who are part of historically underrepresented communities.
The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) Holmes Scholars Program supports enrolled doctoral students who are pursuing careers in education at AACTE member institutions, including VCU.
As a Holmes Scholar building out your doctoral student research portfolio, you’ll have access to resources and professional development. For example, our VCU students attend the AACTE Annual Meeting to engage in discussion, share research and practices, and become better equipped to drive change in educator preparation.
Interested doctoral students apply to the program and are selected based on an active research agenda and excellent academic standing in their doctoral program.
For more information, contact us at holmesscholar@vcu.edu or find us on RamsConnect.
“I wanted to be surrounded by like-minded doctoral students and mentors who look like me and support me through my educational journey.”
