Taft University Announces Doctoral Scholarship Opportunity for Charter School Leaders

LAKEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- William Howard Taft University offers what is believed to be the only accredited Doctor of Education Program in the United States with a concentration in Charter School Administration.

Due to the overwhelming response to the 17^th Annual Roger J. Duthoy Scholarship, William Howard Taft University has announced the 18^th Annual Duthoy Scholarship and will be accepting applications immediately.  

Applications for the annual Roger J. Duthoy Scholarship will be limited to employees of appropriately authorized public charter schools.  This 18^th Annual award is valued in excess of $15,000.00 and will include all tuition and related fees in the school's nationally-accredited, independent study Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) with a concentration in Charter School Administration Program.

Dr. Barry P. Resnick, Dean of Taft's Graduate School of Education, has commented, "Charter Schools are increasing in number and size.  With the growing concern of public school education in general, their numbers are expected to exponentially increase in the next decade.  The responsibilities of managing a charter school are dramatically different than administering a regular public school.  Charter school administrators require many of the same skills as small business owners – skills not taught in traditional Ed.D. programs.  By providing this concentration in Charter School Administration, we hope to encourage the growth of choice in public schools."

All coursework in the Program is presented in a distance learning modality requiring no classroom attendance.  Accordingly, students may keep their full-time positions and live anywhere with Internet access.  Students may complete the Program in as little as 27 months or may take as long as seven years.

Additional information on William Howard Taft University as well as application procedures can be found by reviewing the institution's website at www.taft.edu or contacting William Howard Taft University at (877) 894-TAFT  (8238) or [email protected].  

All applications and supporting materials must be received by the University on or before April 15, 2018.
