Grants for Educators / Scholarships for Students of Teachers
Posted by vechols on November 22, 2011
The Texas Retired Teachers Foundation (TRTF) is accepting applications for its 2012-13 Classroom Assistance Grants and Student Scholarships. TRTF is a non-profit organization serving Texas’s educators of yesterday, today, and tomorrow through the aforementioned and other charitable programs.
TRTF is offering 10 Classroom Assistance Grants in the amount of $500 to public school teachers in the state of Texas for the 2012-13 school year. Classroom Assistance Grants are awarded to teachers who demonstrate their commitment to education by creating programs or learning platforms that enhance the lives of their students.
Additionally, TRTF is offering 10 $500 scholarships to students who will be attending a Texas college in 2012-13 and are majoring in education (they must also be relatives of members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association).
If you know of any teachers in your school that might benefit from this opportunity or of any guidance counselors who post scholarship opportunities for graduating seniors, TRTF would appreciate you passing this message along to them.
Applications and guidelines are available online at http://www.trtf.org/index.cfm/scholarships-grants/. Applications for both programs are due by Thursday, February 23, 2012 by 5:00 pm. Questions may be sent to info@trtf.org. Click link for application: Teacher Grant Application 2012-2013
Thank you for all that you do. The Texas Retired Teachers Foundation hopes to make a difference for your teachers and students!
Sincerely,
