The California Teachers Association Scholarship for Dependent Children supports dependent children of active CTA members with funds to be used for education-related purposes. One scholarship is provided in Honor of Ralph J. Flynn and is awarded to the highest-scoring applicant; one scholarship is provided in Honor of Ruthie Fagerstrom and is awarded to the second highest-scoring applicant; and one scholarship is provided in Honor of Susan B. Anthony and is awarded to the third highest-scoring applicant. Applicants must be the dependent child of an active member of CTA, CTA/NEA-Retired or deceased CTA member and be claimed as a dependent on the member's current year's IRS form. Applicants must be at least a graduating high school senior. High school grade point average should reflect a high unweighted average. College coursework should reflect 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 full-time student in an accredited institution of higher learning; or a registered in an approved credential or degree program in an accredited institution of higher learning. Applicants must also submit two recommendation forms. First recommendation must be from an educator; a teacher, counselor, administrator, school coach, or college professor. The second may be from an educator as well or a community member. A community member is someone who knows the applicant outside of the school setting. No family members allowed.
