Moore Scholars Program

The purpose of the Moore Scholars program is to develop individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to lead, the commitment to act, and the courage and resilience to initiate change in schools and communities so that every child has the opportunity to achieve academic success. The program is open to students, undergraduate and graduate, from our teacher education, leadership, student affairs, and counselor education programs.

Students most likely to succeed in this program will possess these qualities:

• Recognize the inherent dignity and value of all individuals
