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.
