Recognizing Excellence in Teaching Cohort
College of Education leaders and MSU President Mark E. Keenum honored students in the Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program with a reception in Mitchell Memorial Library this spring. METP students receive a scholarship that includes full tuition with room, board and books, a $1,000 technology stipend, and a fully funded national or study-abroad experience. Upon graduation, scholars begin their teaching careers in the state. The award is available to students majoring in secondary mathematics, secondary science, secondary English, elementary education and special education. Funded by the Jackson-based Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation, the scholarship is valued at approximately $100,000 over four years.
