Project ExSEL

Stages of Participation in Project ExSEL

Pre-scholars are recruited during their freshman and sophomore years at UNCG and express interest in Project ExSEL internships and scholarships. These students will be supported by summer internship stipends, and those who demonstrate teaching potential and scholarship excellence will be encouraged to apply for Project ExSEL scholarships.

Project ExSEL scholars are recruited during their junior and senior years at UNCG and are awarded a $10,000 scholarship for each of their junior and senior years as they complete their science major and licensure programs. Science masters students and post-baccalaureate students can apply to become Project ExSEL scholars as well. For candidates in a masters program, it will take at least one academic year and two summers to complete the classroom practice track in science education and at least three years in one of the sciences. For masters and post-baccalaureate students working through the NC TEACH program, it will take at least one year and two summers to complete the program. In return, the scholar commits to teaching in the public school system, in a high-need school, for two years for each year they received the scholarship.

Project ExSEL teachers are supported during their first two years of teaching through mentoring, induction activities, and other assistance. The aim is to help our Project ExSEL teachers feel supported in their science instruction and other classroom activities.
