As Oregon’s K-12 student population becomes more ethnically and linguistically diverse, our school administrative and leadership workforce needs to better mirror the demographics of the students in our schools. The EAC and Oregon's Teacher Standards and Practices Commission have partnered to establish the Oregon Administrator Scholars Program to address financial barriers that pose challenges for ethnically and linguistically diverse candidates pursuing their administrative license towards becoming a school administrator or district leader in Oregon.
The Oregon Administrator Scholars Program (OASP) offers scholarships up to a maximum of $10,000 for each academic year, up to two years, for racially, ethnically, or linguistically diverse administrator candidates accepted and enrolled in a TSPC-approved administrator program. The scholarships may be used to pay for classes, fees, and related costs.
