About Touhey Scholarships
There are many teaching assistants in the Albany school district that grew up within
the district, attended City schools, worked hard to become teaching assistants, and now serve as models- as
well as educators- for our students. Many would be wonderful teachers, however because the financial
requirements necessary to complete a master’s degree, this is not a possibility to them. Touhey Scholarships
provide funding for Teaching Assistants to complete their degree requirements, with the caveat that the money
is later repaid to help other teaching assistants obtain their dreams.
Charles A.Touhey supports the program. Administrative coordination is provided by the Albany School
District. The Albany Fund provides financial management for Education.
