One component of the RAPPS grant provides scholarships to educators who are working towards their Type B certification and Masters Degree in Educational Leadership at UAA. Twelve of the sixteen eligible RAPPS districts have enrolled aspiring principals in UAA through the RAPPS scholarship program.

The grant provides a scholarship for a minimum of two courses per academic year. If districts can provide financial support to their nominees, scholarships could be increased and aspiring principals could complete the EDL program more quickly.

These scholarships are only for aspiring principals who intend on working in one of the RAPPS Districts in rural Alaska.

To date, we have provided scholarships to 73 rural school leaders.  The goal of the project is to train, place and support 55 new principals.

The purpose of this page is to advise partner districts of the proposed RAPPS spiring principals’ nominating process to join the new RAPPS cohort in the UAA Education Leadership program.  (See also the RAPPS FAQ)
