Your child’s education doesn’t end once they walk across that high-school graduation stage. That’s why California State PTA has two scholarships to help your child achieve his or her college dreams and life goals.

• $750 Volunteer Service Scholarship – This scholarship recognizes graduating seniors for their volunteer service in schools and communities, and allows them to register for courses at accredited colleges, universities, trade or technical schools
• $500 Dr. Ralph E. White Graduating Senior Scholarship– Honoring the volunteer and public-service legacy of Dr. Ralph E. White and his wife, Eleanor, this scholarship provides $500 each to two successful applicants of the Volunteer Service Scholarship who intend to pursue a career in a medical field.

Applications are due February 1. All scholarship applications require current membership in a PTA in good standing, so if you know a student who is not yet a PTA member but is interested in applying, be sure to contact your local PTA to join today!
