The AASA Educational Administration Scholarship was created in 1949 to provide incentives, recognition and financial assistance to outstanding graduate students in school administration who intend to make school superintendency a career. The Association selects recipients on the basis of their experience and excellence in school administration, personal essays about their qualifications, and recommendations from university faculty.
