Cohort 4 of the Online Ed.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy hopes to pay it forward by establishing a tradition of scholarship support for future cohorts pursuing doctoral degrees online.

Completion of the Ed.D. program serves to expand the knowledge and skills of educational leaders across the country and better prepare them to address the most pressing needs in education. As a group, Cohort 4 faced the challenges of earning their doctoral degrees while working in education amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They stuck together and built an enduring bond. Now, Cohort 4 would like to come together again, as program alumni, to support future Ed.D. students who aspire to grow as leaders and seek to make positive and lasting change in their work as practitioners.

While Cohort 4 is the initial cohort to create a class gift, their goal is to collaborate with past and future program alumni to establish a culture of support that will permanently endowed a scholarship for future online Ed.D. students. They hope to pave the way for others to give back to a program that has been life-changing for many.

Join Cohort 4 and lend your support to working educators on their journey towards a degree!
