Nashville, TN (January 24, 2022) – Vanderbilt University student Fallon Warshauer has been named a Nancy Larson Foundation Scholar and awarded a $1000 scholarship in recognition of her inspiring leadership, personal narrative, and academic achievement.
The Nancy Larson Foundation proudly supports students across the country majoring in elementary education by awarding scholarships to deserving students each year. Warshauer is one of five recipients selected from the many applications received by the Foundation.
In her personal narrative, Fallon shared, “When I started fourth grade, I wasn’t very academically engaged, but Mrs. Zogby changed everything for me. She turned math problems into fun games, dull books into fantastic stories and science experiments into magic tricks. Ever since that year I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I want to be someone children can talk to, someone they can trust, and someone who makes them eager to learn. I hope to spend my life changing children’s lives and helping them achieve the goals I know they can accomplish.”
“Fallon’s story of the teacher who inspired her to become a teacher was very insightful and is exactly the type of life experience that forms the foundation of a career in education, ” remarked Nancy Larson. “She understands what it takes to be a great teacher and an inspiration to children.”
Larson, an author, former teacher, and curriculum director, has dedicated her life to advancing elementary education. Nancy Larson® Science K–5 programs are classroom-tested and prepare children for upper-level science classes and careers in science. The program was written to provide in-depth science content in an easy-to-teach format.
