Robert J. Stevenson Scholarship

Sponsored by the Robert J. Stevenson Memorial Fund

The Robert J. Stevenson Scholarship has been established by the Leadership Foundation for Teacher Education of the Association of Teacher Educators with major contribution from the Stevenson family to assist a classroom teacher working towards an advanced degree to enhance teacher leadership skills through the study of teaching. Applicants taking coursework leading to National Board of Professional Teaching Standards certification are encouraged to apply, as are those engaged in the study of curriculum and instruction and/or supervision.

This award was established in 2004, in honor of Bob, who served as ATE Executive Director from 1976 to 1988, when he retired. Bob was honored with ATE Distinguished Member designation because of his outstanding service and leadership to the organization. His family designated the annual scholarship award should be given to a classroom teacher with excellent service in education who shows potential for leadership in the field of teacher education, and is currently enrolled in masters or doctoral graduate study. The focus of the advanced degree program should be to enhance teacher leadership skills.


The Robert J. Stevenson Scholarship is named in honor of the late Robert Stevenson, who served as ATE's Executive Director from 1976 until 1990.
