The Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (ALAS) will award a $10,000 scholarship to an aspiring superintendent to help them continue their advanced degree program. Applicants are selected based on need and on their personal statements about how an advanced degree will help them achieve their goals and further the goals of the ALAS mission and vision. They must also submit a resume and three letters of recommendation.
Applicants can apply through June 15, 2025 at www.alasedu.org/alas-scholarship. Applicants must be ALAS members and enrolled in or accepted to an advanced degree program. To become an ALAS member visit www.alasedu.org/individual-membership-registration/.
“ALAS provides leadership development for all school and district leaders who serve Latino youth or other historically marginalized students. Too often finances are a barrier to those who are seeking to complete their advanced degrees so they can move into those leadership roles,” said ALAS Executive Director Ulysses Navarrete. “This scholarship makes the path to the superintendency a little smoother for one of our members each year.”
The ALAS scholarship recipient will be recognized during the ALAS 22nd National Summit on Education, which runs from Oct. 14-18, 2025 in Chicago. The Summit is the association’s flagship leadership development and networking event for administrators at schools and districts that serve primarily Latino and other historically marginalized youth.
The ALAS scholarship is offered annually and is among several ways ALAS supports leadership development for its members. It also offers leadership academies for aspiring superintendents and principals, affinity groups, networking opportunities, and policy advocacy events.
