ACSA will award two $2,500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors whose parent or guardian is an ACSA member in good standing.

Sponsored by ACSA’s Partner4Purpose Program, the scholarships recognize students who have seen firsthand the impact school administrators have on public education. Applicants are asked to respond to the prompt: “What has being the child of a school administrator taught me about the importance of education?”

To be eligible, students must:

Be a California high school senior whose parent or guardian is an ACSA member in good standing.
Have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
Plan to enroll in a postsecondary education program, including a four-year university, community college, trade school, apprenticeship program or similar.
Submit an essay of no more than 1,200 words on the requisite topic.

For 2027 graduates, applications are due Feb. 28, 2027 by 11:59 p.m. Scholarship recipients will be announced on March 31.
