Beginning Teacher Scholarships provide funds to recent college graduates who will be teaching for the first time in the fall of 2022. The funds help reimburse the applicant for certifications and test results and purchase materials for his or her classroom during the first year of teaching. TRTF has awarded more than $124,500 in scholarships since 2008.<\/p>\n
Classroom Assistance Grants help teachers improve the learning environment for students by giving $750 towards projects, learning platforms, software, and much more. TRTF will provide 30 $750 grants to public school teachers in Texas in 2022. Since 2008, TRTF has awarded more than $132,000 in grants to 264 recipients. Your donations help students develop real-world skills, and provides them with a caring, creative community to explore their future!<\/p>\n
2021 Scholarship Recipient Madelyn Pipes<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn 2021, Madelyn Pipes, who now teaches kindergarten at Liberty-Eylau Early Childhood Center in Texarkana, won a Beginning Teacher Scholarship after being referred by TRTA member Kerry James.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first year of teaching has been wonderful so far,\u201d says Pipes. \u201cI have been so thankful for the scholarship because as a first-year teacher and not having a bunch of much needed things, it was a huge help!\u201d<\/p>\n
Pipes used her funds from TRTF to purchase extra school supplies, new books and book bins, a colorful cart for her math centers, blocks for Fun Friday, and much more.
