Awards and Scholarships  James V. and Dorothy B. Moon Scholarship Program Are you a superintendent or an aspiring superintendent? Are you pursuing graduate study to become the best superintendent you can be? Do you know there are scholarships available through IASA to help offset the costs of your coursework? Established in 1993 in memory of Dr. James V. Moon, a former superintendent at Morton High School District, the James V. and Dorothy B. Moon Scholarship program is committed to improving the education and qualifications of school administrators. Since its inception, 67 scholarships totaling nearly $143,000 have been awarded to current or aspiring superintendents. Practicing school administrators in Illinois qualify if they are college graduates pursuing an advanced degree in educational administration at an accredited college or university. Several scholarships ($2,500 minimum each) are awarded each year and are paid directly to the college or university to cover tuition, fees and/or textbook expenses. To get more information on the application and awards process, contact Cherry Middleton at 217/753-2213 or cmiddleton@iasaedu.org A list of this year's recipients is available by clicking here.

One only needs to review the growing list of outstanding educator recipients to see how this will occur. This award is presented to individuals in recognition of exemplary leadership contributions to Illinois public schools, the field of school administration and students.
