About

Alma Exley recognized that America’s diversity is one of our country’s greatest strengths. The Alma Exley Scholarship Program, established in her memory, is dedicated to promoting greater diversity in the teaching profession. Through scholarships, we are honoring and supporting outstanding students who are preparing for careers as public school teachers.

At a reception each spring, we introduce our newest Alma Exley Scholar. Recipients join a distinguished network of educators who are making a difference in schools in Connecticut and across the country.
