Celebrate higher education by participating in the

OHIO PTA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Since its establishment in 1947, this PTA program in its 79th year has assisted thousands of youth in realizing their dreams. The awards are based on the student’s scholarship achievement, school and community involvement, leadership qualifications, and an essay.

The Scholarship brochure provides more information. The applicant must be a high school senior who attends an Ohio public high school in a school district with one or more PTA units that are in good standing with the Ohio PTA. Recipients are permitted to receive scholarships from other sources.
