<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">The Holmes Scholars Program was established in 1991 to enrich the scholarly experience and professional training of talented men and women of color and/or persons with disability who are underrepresented in leadership positions in our universities and professional development schools. On June 1, 2001, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (<a href="http://www.aacte.org/" target="_blank">AACTE</a>) and the George Washington University's Graduate School of Education and Human Development (<a href="http://gsehd.gwu.edu/gsehd/" target="_blank">GSEHD</a>) jointly assumed the management and coordination of the Holmes Scholars Program.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">The Holmes Scholars are a select group of graduate students who are enrolled at <a href="http://www.holmespartnership.org/" target="_blank">The Holmes Partnership</a> institutions. They are preparing for careers in the education professorate and in professional development schools. More than 400 students have participated in the network and nearly 100 are currently in tenure-track positions at colleges and universities around the country. <b><i><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic">Two members of our faculty are Holmes Scholar Alumni (Dr. Najeé Muhammad and Dr. Adah Ward-Randolph).</span></i></b></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="black" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Individuals selected as Holmes Scholars should be doctoral students or students pursuing a terminal degree in the field. These individuals should be nominated during their first year (preferably in their second semester) and begin their Scholar status at the beginning of the second year of their doctoral or terminal degree program. </span></font></p>
