School Administration Scholarships

AASA’s Educational Administration Scholarships were created in 1949 to provide incentive, honor and financial assistance to outstanding graduate students in school administration who intend to make the school superintendency a career. The scholarships in the amount of $2,500 each for outstanding graduate students are named for each of AASA's seven former executive directors. Recipients are honored at AASA's National Conference on Education and a $500 travel allowance is provided. Nominations and Deadlines Applications are available online by April 15 or from chairs of educational administration departments at universities that have such a program. Only one candidate may be submitted by each college or university campus and each candidate must be recommended by the dean of the school of education in which the candidate is enrolled. If a nominee is selected to receive this award, the nominee must be a member of or apply for membership with AASA at the aspiring superintendent rate.

Recipient will be a graduate student with a cumulative 3.0 GPA enrolled in Educational Administration & Counseling in the College of Education or Nursing in the College of Health and Human Performance with preference going to students that demonstrate financial need. When earnings allow for a second scholarship, the recipient will be for a men's and women's athlete who demonstrates financial need.
