Lenoir-Rhyne Offers More

Here are just a few of the reasons why you should pursue a teaching fellowship at Lenoir-Rhyne College.

• A $52,000 scholarship.  That's $13,000 a year for four years to attend one of NC's finest private colleges and become part of its legendary teaching program.  Additional Financial Aid is also available.

• Your own notebook computer.  As an L-R Teaching Fellow, you'll receive your own wireless notebook computer and all the latest technology training.  Learn from our INTEL "teach to the future" training, take advantage of online educational tool sets, or even create your own digital documentary.

• Premier housing.                                                                                                                      You will live in the best that Lenoir-Rhyne has to offer.  Our recently renovated Fritz-Conrad Residence Hall is the newest and most advanced  housing on campus.  As a freshman you will be living there in a community with your Teaching Fellows classmates. 

• Study abroad.  Pack your duffle!  As an L-R Teaching Fellow, you'll spend an intensive week studying the educational system in another country - China, Finland, maybe even Poland - and comparing it to other systems.  Best of all, our programs are shorter ( a week, instead of a semester), and the trip is fully funded.  (You pay only modest out-of-pocket expenses.)

• Real research projects.  As a freshman Fellow, you'll select a topic (anything from cell growth to romantic poetry), and then engage in an intensive, four-year research project with an L-R faculty member.  As part of the process, you'll learn the ins and outs of applying for collaborative study grants.  And, the college may actually fund your project.

• A dedicated Three-Person support team.  You'll have your own peer mentor, plus two faculty mentors - one from the School of Education and another from the College of Arts and Sciences (usually the professor you will be partnered with for research).

• More foreign language.  Our program is grounded in the idea that global citizenship and diversity is becoming more prominent in our schools, and we want you to be as prepared as possible for those challenges.  It makes sense that our Teaching Fellows take an extra semester of foreign language.  You can select topics  in French, German, Spanish, or even American Sign Language.
