FROM THE FOUNDATION

The Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation is proud to offer professional development opportunities and teaching recognition for alumnae members. If you or someone you know qualifies for the Freida Riley Award or is interested in a Career Enhancement Grant, visit www.AlphaSigmaAlpha.org/asafoundation to see the criteria and the links to each application.

Frieda Riley Award

The Frieda Riley Award is given in honor of Frieda Riley, BP, an outstanding teacher whose legacy was honored in the film, October Sky. The Frieda Riley Award for Teaching Excellence demonstrates Alpha Sigma Alpha’s commitment to a quality education and recognizes outstanding Alpha Sigma Alpha educators. The award is given based on the degree to which the teacher inspires students to do their best, shows care and respect for students, and goes “the extra mile” to make her students’ experiences memorable.

Career Enhancement Grant

With budget reductions for many entities during the pandemic, professional development opportunities may no longer be fully funded by your employer. Career enhancement grants provide assistance for Alpha Sigma Alpha alumnae seeking personal or professional development. Grants are awarded on merit demonstrated through leadership, Sorority/ community involvement and how the proposed use relates to the applicant’s development goals.
