Testimonials from Newcombe Foundation Scholarship recipients

"Before coming to Bank Street, I worked for several years in corporate America at medical device and pharmaceutical companies. When my daughter turned eight, I finally felt ready to make a career change and obtain my Masters in education. It has been a challenge for me to pursue my Masters while raising my daughter, student teach and work part-time. However, I have been blessed with excellent professors at Bank Street who understand the challenges I face at this time in my life."

"I had previously worked in foundations and in the museum world. When I was growing up, my whole family worked for the New York City Board of Education and I spent many years running away from what comes naturally to me˘being a teacher."
