The California Teachers Association Scholarship for Members supports CTA members throughout the academic year with funds to be used for education-related purposes. A maximum of 10 scholarships are awarded. One scholarship is designated as the American Indian/Alaska Native Memorial Scholarship in Honor of Alice Piper and is awarded to the highest-scoring applicant. One scholarship is designated for an ESP member who wants to transition into the teaching profession, provided an ESP member applies. Applicants must be an active member of CTA (including members working on an emergency credential). College coursework should demonstrate high academic achievement. Applicants must explain any unique circumstances related to medical, physical or emotional difficulties that may have affected their grades. To receive funds, scholarship recipients will be required to submit an official verification of enrollment for the Summer or Fall 2025 semester or quarter as: a half or part time student in an accredited institution of higher learning; or registered in an approved credential or degree program in an accredited institution of higher learning; or registered in an approved technical training or certificate program if the applicant is an ESP member. Applicants must also submit two recommendation forms. The recommendation forms must separately address both statements: Involvement in human, social and/or civic issues that reflect responsibility, reliability and integrity; and Educational and personal achievements that reflect academic and/or vocational potential.
