Scholarships - Introduction

Funds for the scholarship program to further various kinds of higher education are approved annually by the California State PTA.

Scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors to commend extensive volunteer service in the school and community. Scholarships are for use during fall semester/quarter, following high school graduation. Scholarship awards also are available to credentialed teachers, counselors, and school nurses for advanced study, and to PTA volunteers with at least three years of PTA service to continue their education.

Applications may be downloaded from our web site and obtained from the California State PTA office.
