Once admitted, Pathways Scholars progress through a teacher education program specifically geared to meet their needs. Ongoing curricular development activities inspired a course on community volunteerism, as well as instructional modules on an array of urban education topics. Courses are available in the evenings and over the summer to accommodate participants' schedules. The program offers scholars both financial and academic support services. Academic supports include an initial orientation, special seminars, and workshops.
Scholars also receive academic advising, tutoring, and counseling.
In addition, family orientation and day care services are available. Upon program completion, graduates seek employment with NPS, fulfilling a pledge each scholar makes upon entry to the program. Once graduates have gained employment, Norfolk State continues to monitor them informally and offers special seminars and annual workshops. The careful selection of participants and the comprehensive nature of the Pathways program at Norfolk State show very positive results thus far. To date, the Pathways program has enrolled 106 scholars.
