Teacher Scholarship
NCPTA is pleased to continue its Teacher Scholarship Program. Four scholarships in the amount of $500 will be awarded to teachers seeking a master's degree in education.
To be eligible for the North Carolina PTA Teacher Scholarship, a teacher must:
- Be currently teaching in North Carolina public schools with a PTA in good standing (Dues paid, Bylaws up-to-date, members entered into the NCPTA database, and Financial Review submitted)
- Be an instructional classroom teacher (not a media specialist, guidance counselor, etc.)
- Have a minimum of three years’ teaching experience
- Work towards a master's degree in a subject or grade level area, not administration
- Continue/return to teaching in a public school classroom

The teacher may be working on the degree on either a full-time or part-time basis. The scholarship can be used to cover tuition costs and other student fees, purchase of books, or other direct costs related to the degree program. The money will be placed into an account at the college/university from which these expenses can be paid.
To be eligible for this scholarship, you must apply online by May 25. In your online application you will need to provide the following:
- Your name, address, and email address
- Name of your School PTA and Principal's name
