RIC’s Feinstein School of Education and Human Development (FSEHD) has been awarded a $300,000 grant by the Rhode Island Foundation to improve student performance in Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket and Central Falls schools. With this grant, the FSEHD will establish a Grow Your Own Equity (GYO) Fellows Program designed to diversify the workforce in career and technical education. The ultimate goal of the fellowship program is to train GYO educators to prepare high school students in these urban districts for college and a career in teaching.
