Scholarships

The AESA Foundation is dedicated to fostering professional growth for education leaders across the nation. One of our commitments is to breaking down financial barriers that might prevent talented individuals from accessing transformative opportunities. For the 2024-2025 academic year, we proudly awarded scholarships to two exceptional AESA members, allowing them to participate in the highly regarded Executives in Residence and Leadership Academy programs. These programs equip leaders with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to excel in their roles and make a meaningful impact in their communities.

The scholarship application is now open for the 2025-2026 Leadership Academy and Executives in Residence cohorts. A link to apply for the scholarship is included in both program application forms. Scholarships help offset eligible expenses such as lodging, travel, and other costs, with funding amounts and recipient numbers determined by availability.
