Women's Center Returning Adult Learners 2023-24 Scholarships
Accepting Applications Friday, April 7th, 2023!
The Women's Center's Returning Adult Learners Scholarships Application for 2023-24 is available now via Scholarship Retriever to undergraduate students who meet the eligibility requirements.
The deadline for submission via Scholarship Retriever is Friday, April 8, 2023.
This common application which is called Women's Center: Returning Adult Learners 2023-2024 in Scholarship Retriever enables eligible students to apply for more than one of the Returning Adult Learner Scholarships with just one submission. Please note that this opportunity to apply will only appear in Scholarship Retriever to students who meet the scholarship qualifications. The six available scholarships via the Returning Adult Learner Scholarship Application are:
- Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship & The UMBC Scholarship for Returning Adult Learners
- Jodi Mister/Charlotte W. Newcombe Scholarship
- Charlotte W. Newcombe STEM Scholarship
- AEGON Scholarship
- The Richard & Roselyn Bryson Neville Memorial Fund for Returning Women Scholarship
- The Rosalie Tydings Business and Professional Women’s Scholarship
Undergraduate students of any gender over the age of 25 and with at least 60 credits and 2.5 GPA may be eligible. Students must be completing their first undergraduate degree.
If a student does not meet these requirements, the scholarship opportunity will not appear on Scholarship Retriever. Students who have not completed the FAFSA will not see the opportunity in Scholarship Retriever. Students who wish to still be considered despite not meeting these requirements should contact the Women's Center directly. This encouragement to reach out directly to the Women's Center extends to students who have extenuating circumstances (i.e. students who are DACA/undocumented) that may prevent them from completing the FAFSA.
Students who are selected to be scholars are required to participate in the Returning Adult Learners Scholars + Affiliates program. For more information about the program, visit our website and be sure to attend an information session.
We have two information sessions scheduled:
We are also able to make the presentation materials available by request. Email womenscenter@umbc.edu for information.
If you have any questions concerning the application process or the scholars program requirements, please contact Women's Center staff at womenscenter@umbc.edu.
UMBC Department of Education Research Seminar Series
Learning Teaching as an Interpretive Process
Keisha McIntosh Allen, Corey Carter & Jackie Peng
March 1, 2023 - 12:00-1:00pm | University Center Room 310
The
UMBC Department of Education Research Seminar series continues with a
presentation by Keisha McIntosh Allen, Corey Carter, and Jackie Peng.
They will discuss a study that systematically investigates the
framework of learning teaching as an interpretive process (LTIP)
advanced by Etta Ruth Hollins
and its impact on the learning outcomes of teacher candidates who are
Sherman Program scholars at UMBC. The study uses naturalistic,
constructivist qualitative inquiry methods, which assume that meaning
can be made based on observations in natural rather than controlled
contexts.
All members of the
department, partners/collaborators, and students/faculty from other departments are invited to attend. Lunch will be provided by the department. Please RSVP by February 24th by completing this form:

REPOST: Black Disability History Talk: 504 and Beyond
Dr. Sami Schalk: Disability Politics w/ Black Panther Party
Sami Schalk, Associate Professor, Gender and Women’s Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison will be speaking on campus on Thursday February 23rd at 4:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts and Humanities Building Room 132. To RSVP for this in-person event, click on the website button below.
Drawing from the book, Black Disability Politics, this talk will detail the Black Panther Party’s involvement in the 1977 504 Sit-in, in which protesters around the country picketed and occupied government offices to urge passage of delayed regulations related to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Schalk will discuss the sit-in as an historical example of how Black cultural workers have engaged with disability as a political issue in ways that have sometimes been obscured in Black studies and disability studies alike.
This lecture is organized by the Dresher Center for the Humanities.
Biography: Dr. Sami Schalk (she/her) is an associate professor of Gender & Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability, Race and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction (Duke 2018) and Black Disability Politics (Duke 2022). Dr. Schalk’s academic work focuses on race, disability, and gender in contemporary American literature and culture. She also writes for mainstream outlets, including a monthly column called “Pleasure Practices” in TONE Madison. Dr. Schalk identifies as a fat, Black, queer, disabled femme and a pleasure activist.
Co-sponsored by the Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion, and Belonging (I3B); and the Office of Accessibility and Disability Services.
ASL Interpretation will be provided. Masks are strongly encouraged.
