Education Scholars is a new "Transition to Impact" summer program for Davidson students interested in driving change at every level of our education system. This program places eight students in immersive, project-based summer internships with local partners in and around the school system in Charlotte.

As an Education Scholar you will:

• Conduct a high-impact project within a leading education organization
• Participate in regular enrichment workshops facilitated by local experts that explore and analyze complex issues in education and contextualize your work experience
• Live in community with peers just outside of Charlotte's vibrant Uptown
• Access a network of innovative practitioners, academic experts, and change-makers who can serve as mentors and resources

Program Details
