Empowering AESA Members Through Foundation 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 2025-26 academic year, we proudly awarded scholarships to seven 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 2026–27 Executives in Residence cohort and will open soon for next year’s Leadership Academy cohort. A link to apply is included within each program’s application. Scholarships help offset eligible expenses such as lodging, travel, and related costs, with award amounts and the number of recipients determined by available funding.
