The School of Education and Human Development is firmly grounded in USM’s rich history. The University dates back to the Gorham Normal School, established by the state of Maine in 1878 to educate teachers and establish teaching norms. Today, the School has a mission of preparing educators and human development professionals for responsible service that is as relevant to society today as it was more than a century ago.
Through the generosity of donors like you, the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) awards scholarships to 50-75 students per year from more than 40 scholarship funds. This GivingTuesday, consider a donation to the School of Education and Human Development, and invest in the learning and development of future generations of Mainers.
