Designated Leaders Scholarship
The Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester is making an
extraordinary commitment to developing the next generation of school leaders.
This commitment is based on a simple assumption—that the very best judges of
leadership potential are our current leaders. As principals and superintendents,
you already have an idea of which faculty members should be tapped to
become future school leaders. We believe that our leaders have a responsibility
to the profession to encourage those with the greatest potential for effective
leadership, and as a school of education, we have the obligation to provide
those individuals with the very best preparation program possible.
Program Features
- This unique program begins the training of high potential leaders tapped by
their direct supervisors and endorsed by their superintendents.
- The University of Rochester provides selected individuals with a scholarship to
cover 65 percent of tuition costs toward our leadership credentialing program
for New York State certifi cation at the building and/or school level.
- In addition, those individuals who are interested in pursuing their Doctor of
Education (Ed.D.) have a very healthy beginning in the process as certification
courses taken at the Warner School count directly toward a doctorate.
The Warner School offers this opportunity because we strongly believe that
existing principals and superintendents play a critical role in identifying the next
generation of school leaders. As part of the nomination process, we request
that your school district commits to providing the nominated candidate with an
appropriate internship in the second year of study.
