California State PTA Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by California State PTA

Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 32

Your education doesn’t end once you walk across that high school graduation stage.

That’s why California State PTA has two scholarships to help you achieve your continuing education dreams and life goals.

Two scholarships are available for your application:

Volunteer Service Scholarship  This scholarship recognizes graduating seniors for their volunteer service in schools and communities, allowing them to register for courses at accredited colleges, universities, and trade, or technical schools. Applicants must be PTA members graduating from a California high school between January 1 and June 30 of the current academic year.

$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 additional scholarship provides $500 each to two successful applicants of the Volunteer Service Scholarship who intend to pursue a career in the medical field.

Applications, reference forms/letters, and all supporting documents must be received in the California State PTA office by February 1 each year.  All applicants are notified of their status in March. Scholarship winners receive a letter of congratulations and a recognition certificate from California State PTA along with a check.

APPLICATION TIPS

Don’t forget to include these items in your application:

  • Proof of your PTA membership
  • Descriptive essay fully answering the questions asked regarding your PTA experience and service, service to other organizations or individuals, your career plans, job experience, and any other information you feel would be valuable to the selection committee.
  • Two completed reference forms and letters, written specifically for this application (first reference written by a community volunteer leader unrelated to you and with whom you volunteered; second reference written by a member of the high-school faculty).
