Thank you for your interest in the John W. Washington Leadership Scholarship. The Garland Area Alliance of Black School Educators will award a $500 scholarship in the honor of retired Assistant Superintendent for Student Services and Community Relations, John W. Washington.

Applicants must be enrolled in a Garland Independent School District high school, have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale), and entering college or a vocational prep program in the fall of 2024. Prospective applicants should demonstrate leadership qualities that set them apart from their peers. This leadership service could stem from scholastic experiences, community relationships, church involvement, or a combination of all three. As an organization, we stand for the advancement of College and Career Readiness, however, leadership and service are valued with equal importance.
