AEA Eric Grant Higher Education Scholarship

Each year the Arlington Education Association provides scholarships to graduating seniors of AEA members. In 2023, the scholarship was named after Eric Grant to honor his legacy and contribution to the AEA over his many years as an Arlington teacher and AEA President. The scholarship can be applied to any higher-level, post-secondary institute the student attends (ex. university, community college, technical school, trade school, etc). 

There are two routes to apply for this scholarship depending on where the student graduates high school.
