Funding Opportunities
NCCCS-Glaxo SmithKline Teacher Promise Scholarship
The NCCCS-Glaxo SmithKline Teacher Promise Scholarship awards financial support to students enrolled in Associate in Arts in Teacher Preparation (A1010T) or Associate in Science in Teacher Preparation (A1040T) degree programs at North Carolina Community Colleges. The program is designed to support students pursuing teaching careers by providing renewable scholarship funding based on enrollment status. Full-time students enrolled in at least 12 credit hours may receive the scholarship for up to two consecutive years, not including summer terms. Part-time students enrolled at least half-time (6 credit hours) receive a reduced scholarship offer for up to four consecutive years, not including summer terms. Students must complete the FAFSA and demonstrate unmet financial need, as well as meet satisfactory academic progress standards as determined by their college. This scholarship is a collaborative effort between the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to address teacher shortages and support the development of future educators. Individual colleges have flexibility to establish their own criteria and selection processes through scholarship committees. The scholarship is not transferable between institutions.
NCCCS Glaxo SmithKline Early Childhood Teacher Preparation and Residency Scholarship
The NCCCS Glaxo SmithKline Early Childhood Teacher Preparation and Residency Scholarship awards scholarships to students enrolled in various early childhood education certificate programs at North Carolina Community Colleges. This scholarship assists students enrolled or enrolling in Early Childhood teacher certificate programs where courses do not fit into an eligible two-year degree program, do not meet clock-to-credit hours conversion requirements, or may not be Title IV aid eligible. The scholarship is available to students pursuing certificates in Early Childcare Workforce, Infant/Toddler Care, School-Age Care, Early Childhood Administration, Early Childhood Preschool, and Elementary Education Residency Licensure. Individual colleges may establish their own criteria and award students for the scholarship, as well as their own scholarship committees to select recipients. Colleges may use the FAFSA to determine need or establish alternative means to determine eligibility, though FAFSA completion is recommended but not required for students.
