LEARN ABOUT FUNDS THAT SUPPORT STUDENTS

Students enrolled in Department of Educational Administration programs arrive with big dreams. Supporting those aspirations takes a committed, innovative, and award-winning faculty and staff, a robust curricula, strong relationships in a supportive learning community, and more. To be clear, excellence in leadership, education, and equity is no accident.

We’re deeply grateful for the generous assistance our students and programs receive from friends, alums, and supporters of our academic programs. From providing students with fellowships and scholarships to defray tuition costs, to providing funds for travel, professional learning experiences, special opportunities, and support for unexpected challenges and emergencies, our EDAD donors make a powerful difference in the lives of our Husker Scholars.

My family and I were beyond excited when we found out the great news! The Dale and Thomas Hayes fellowship allows me the peace of mind to concentrate on my education and bring me one step closer to achieving my goal as an administrator. To have someone invest in you, is a blessing and a gift that I will use to fuel my passion for becoming a better instructional leader!

I am honored to have received this fellowship. It will have a great impact on our family of six and allow me to continue to pursue my dreams while allowing my children to continue to participate in the things they love to do.

Dan Hutsell, Educational Leadership program

I feel so grateful to have received this fellowship as I have not only been navigating the waters of graduate school and a full-time job but also the new waters of being a mother! This fellowship helps so that I can focus more energy on learning and less on the financial aspects of grad school.
