Scholarship That's More Than 'Dollars for Scholars' Lecture Topic
Lindsay C. Page
The 14-year-old national Dell Scholars program will be evaluated by an education research scientist Nov. 30.
Lindsay C. Page, an assistant professor of research methodology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education, will cover "More than Dollars for Scholars: The Impact of the Dell Scholars Program on College Access, Persistence and Degree Attainment."
The program will be at noon in Room 343 of the Graduate Education Building. The Friday series is hosted by the Department of Education Reform of the University of Arkansas College of Education and Health Professions.
Page also is a research scientist at Pitt's Learning Research and Development Center. She earned a doctorate and two master's degrees at Harvard University and a bachelor's from Dartmouth College.
Dell Scholars since its founding in 2004 notably awards qualifying college students from low-income families "personalized, multifaceted support" that includes a flexible financial award, textbook credits, a laptop, as well as peer mentoring, confidential counseling and financial aid coaching. The goal is to help students earn degrees.
The noon to 1 p.m. program includes a light lunch for those who register online before 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31.
The 2018-19 lecture series and other information can be found on the website of the department.
