Everyday, the Accelerated Learning Program changes the lives of students. The Accelerated Learning Program Scholarship was initiated at the behest of, and with contributions from, Accelerated Learning Program faculty and staff. The scholarship will provide two qualified students with $500 annually towards tuition and expenses.
Bill Weeks, Clinical Associate Professor, says, "While teaching in the Accelerated Learning Program, I have had the pleasure of interacting with adult students who bring their professional experiences to the classroom. This creates a learning environment that cannot be duplicated. I have also had the pleasure of meeting wonderful individuals whose lives have been changed for the better by involvement with this program, whether through promotion, entrepreneurship, or professional learning."
He continues, "As wonderful as this program is, it is a reality that not every qualified student can afford to take advantage of this opportunity. Two students a year will engage in a path they may have forgone without our generosity. Two futures will change as a college education has an impact on earnings and employability for a lifetime."
Medaille's Accelerated Learning Program is growing and the College continues to invest money in the long-term success of the program. Think about how much this scholarship would have helped you, and how much your gift could mean to future students.
Graduate programs run year-round at the Medaille's Amherst Campus, including education, mental health counseling, and psychology degrees, along with the Accelerated Learning Program.
