HASA Provides Six $1,000 Scholarships
HASA is committed to enhancing the knowledge and
leadership skills of its members, encouraging promising teachers to
select school administration as a career goal, as well assisting graduating
Hillsborough County Public School students in their pursuit of an Education
degree. This year,
HASA is proud to make six scholarships available.
One of the HASA
scholarships for an administrator or teacher has been named the Tom Rao
Leadership scholarship in honor of Mr. Rao, former principal of
Hillsborough
High School and HASA
Executive Board member. This $1000 scholarship was named in memory of Mr.
Rao due to his extensive involvement, leadership and commitment to HASA and
the
Hillsborough County Public Schools.
HASA’s business partner
Herff Jones sponsored and funded this year’s Tom Rao Leadership
scholarship. HASA would like to than Lynn Zirkle and Herff Jones for their
support.
This year HASA will offer a second $1000
college scholarship to current Hillsborough County Public School
administrators and teachers to use to further their education. This
scholarship is named in honor of Pat Smith, past HASA President and the
visionary behind the HASA Scholarship program.
Two additional un-named one
thousand dollar scholarships are offered by HASA for members who wish to
pursue additional training at any Florida university
All four of these $1000 scholarships are awarded
in order to reward HASA members for their outstanding contributions to our
public schools and to promote educational leadership in our district.
Administrators who are current HASA members are eligible to apply if they
enroll in post-graduate work at an accredited college or university.
Teachers are also eligible to apply if they are working towards
certification in Educational Leadership or Vocational Director.
HASA’s business partner, the
Hillsborough Education Foundation has also contributed scholarship
funds. Consequently HASA is able to offer two $1000 HCC
(Hillsborough Community College) scholarships to
high school seniors or first-year HCC students planning to major in
education. Students must be a dependent of an active or retired HASA member
or employed with Hillsborough County Public Schools.
Scholarship applications are available on the website (administrator/teacher
and
student).
All applications and supporting documents are due on
March 19, 2010. Scholarship recipients will be announced at the HASA
Spring Social.
