Thank you, members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA), for joining us during Foundation Month, a time to honor the charitable work done by our partner organization, the Texas Retired Teachers Foundation (TRTF).
Today, we focus on two of TRTF’s longstanding programs, First-Year Teacher Scholarships and Classroom Assistance Grants.
The First-Year Teacher Scholarship provides funds to assist the recipient in purchasing materials for his or her classroom. TRTF has awarded more than $190,250 in scholarships since 2008.
The Classroom Assistance Grant is awarded to Texas public school teachers who, on a daily basis, demonstrate commitment to public education and Texas children through the creation of programs, events, or other learning platforms. TRTF has awarded more than $208,000 in grants since 2008.
Scholarship and Grant applications are available now at www.trtf.org! The deadline to apply is Friday, January 31, 2025, and winners will be announced in March.
Your donations support teachers so they can help students develop real-world skills and provide them with a caring, creative community to explore their futures! Please consider making your end-of-the-year, tax-deductible donation to TRTF by donating online at www.trtf.org/donate or mailing a check to: TRTF, 313 East 12th Street Suite 220, Austin, Texas 78701.
