Arizona PTA Scholarship Program and Application
Purpose and Eligibility Requirements
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.
The scholarship is based on financial need. The scholarship is available for 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 3.0 on a
4.0 scale
2) Is considered to be an Arizona resident and 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 of registration in a NCA accredited Arizona community college,
college or university 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 four thousand dollars ($4000.00) 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 a NCA accredited
st
Arizona community college, college or university on or before September 1
. Monies will be
paid directly to the institution upon registration.

Scholarship winners will be notified no later than April 10. Monies will be sent directly to the
financial aid office once a school has been selected. Scholarship winners will be honored at the
Arizona PTA State 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
