California State Student Scholarships
Your education doesn’t end once you walk across that high-school graduation stage.
To help you continue on your educational path, the California State PTA is proud to offer several scholarship programs. To apply for a scholarship, an applicant must be a member of a PTA unit in good standing.
Scholarship winners receive a letter of congratulations and recognition certificate from California State PTA along with a check.
For questions and more information, please contact the California State PTA Scholarship and Grant Chairman at grants@capta.org.
