ASBA Educational Foundation

The Arkansas School Boards Association established an Educational Foundation to support public education in Arkansas. The foundation established a scholarship program in 1992, and the first scholarships were awarded in 1994.

The Arkansas School Boards Association Educational Foundation Scholarship Program is designed to benefit the children of ASBA-affiliated Arkansas school board members, and the students must attend two-year or four-year Arkansas institutions of higher education.

Five scholarships are awarded annually, one from each of the state's four congressional districts and one at-large. A committee assigned by the ASBA Board of Directors reviews scholarship applications and determine awardees. Awards are made before the fall school term.
