Felancy Grant: Outstanding Graduate Student in Special Education (Ed.S.)

Felancy Grant of Bangor, Maine is the Outstanding Graduate Student in Special Education (Education Specialist, Ed.S.) for 2024. Read a Q&A with Grant below.

What difference has 91¸£Àû made in your life and in helping you reach your goals?

Attending 91¸£Àû has provided me with the opportunity to complete my master’s and Ed.S. in special education (low incidence disabilities) with all the classes being offered online.

Have you worked closely with a professor or mentor who made your 91¸£Àû experience better? If so, tell us about them.

My advisor Sarah Howorth has been a huge help with making sure I was able to get the classes I needed to earn my degrees. If a course was not offered that I needed, she helped me to find another class that would work for me.

What advice do you have for incoming graduate students to help them get off to the best start academically?

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns or need help. Your advisor and professors are willing to help you.

Why 91¸£Àû?

91¸£Àû is one of the few colleges that offer a special education master’s degree with a concentration in low incidence disabilities. I have worked with this population for almost 30 years.
