Purpose and Eligibility Requirements for Arizona PTA Scholarship
The Arizona PTA has established the Scholarship Program for the major purpose of aiding able students who have the desire and potential to attend college. A second purpose is to dramatize the need in Arizona for a higher education beyond high school for our citizens.
Applications may be downloaded HERE or by calling the Arizona PTA State Office at 602-279-1811. Completed applications must be postmarked by February 15, 2013.
The scholarship is based on financial need. The scholarship is available to any deserving graduating student from an Arizona high school or a current Arizona college providing:
1. Shall have a minimum grade point average meeting college requirement of a 3.0 on a 4 point scale.
2. Is considered to be an Arizona resident by the school he/she is attending.
Amount of Award and Acceptance
The Scholarship shall be for five hundred dollars ($500.00) per semester and may be renewed each consecutive semester with proof of registration and current grade point average of a minimum of 2.65 on a 4 point scale.
No student shall be eligible to receive more than $4,000.00 in four (4) years from this scholarship fund.
Each recipient will be asked to sign a “Letter of Acceptance” which sets forth the terms of the scholarship contract.
How Paid and Retention
Any student receiving a scholarship must show intent to enter or continue in an NCA Accredited Arizona community college, college or university on or before September 1st. Monies will be paid directly to the institution upon registration.
– The retention of a scholarship shall depend upon the recipient’s maintaining a 2.65 average.
– A student must carry a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester.
– Proof of grade reports and registration must be submitted each semester to receive the subsequent monies.
These reports shall be mailed to the PTA Scholarship Chairman at the Arizona PTA office, 2721 N. 7th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85007-1102.
Scholarship winners will be notified no later than April 10. Monies will be sent directly to the financial aid department once a school has been selected. Scholarship winners will be honored at the Arizona PTA convention in June.
In order for funds to be automatically sent to the financial aid department before tuition is due, it is the responsibility of the scholarship winner to submit semester grades and the next semester’s registration of classes each semester to the Arizona PTA Office.
Any changes in schools must be reported to the Arizona PTA Office.
