The William Root Endowed Award

The William Root Endowed Award was established in 1986 in honor of Dr. William Root, professor emeritus of education, faculty member, and adviser to 21 doctoral graduates. Dr. Root’s advisees joined together to provide this unrestricted financial award for an educational administration graduate student during the year of residency. Selection of the recipient is to be made by a committee composed of two members of Dr. Root’s advisees, the educational administration department head, and two department faculty members, in coordination with the director of student financial aid.
