Scholarships
Texas PTA offers $1000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors in Texas who will be enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university or a technical institute in the summer or fall semester immediately following applicant’s high school graduation. All funds for the scholarships are provided by gifts to the Texas PTA Endowment Fund.
Texas PTA offers $500 scholarships to teachers, teachers' aides, or other faculty members planning to take college credit courses, workshops or other continuing education which improves the applicant's teaching proficiency or applies to a specific education-related certification (includes middle management, administrator, counselor, etc.). These courses may include online correspondence courses.
