Scholarship Program

Scholarship Program Overview

Washington State PTA (WSPTA) offers four $2,500 scholarships to graduating seniors from Washington state public high schools with an active PTA, who will be starting college (either two-year or four-year) in the fall.

Upon receiving proof of acceptance to college, WSPTA will issue a check to the school the recipient will be attending. The scholarship may be used to offset the cost of tuition, books, supplies, room and/or board.

Requirements

• Current and verified GPA of at least 3.4 (on a scale of 4.0)
• The name and number of the PTA/PTSA at your school
• At least three volunteer activities
• Answer the essay question: “How has volunteering within my community helped me today and into the future?”

Application

Students may submit a scholarship application through the online form.  We encourage students to apply even if they have not decided on which specific college (either two-year or four-year) they will be attending. If the student is selected as a scholarship recipient, we will verify the enrollment status prior to distributing the funds.

The application deadline is February 15, 2023 and scholarships are awarded by April 30. The submission process is new this year. We encourage you to read this blog to learn more.
