Your education doesn’t end once you walk across that high school graduation stage. California State PTA announces two scholarships available to help the class of 2025 achieve their college dreams and career and life goals. Here are the scholarships available this year: 
- The Volunteer Service Scholarship recognizes graduating seniors for their volunteer service in PTAs, schools, and communities. This scholarship provides financial assistance for those who wish to register for courses at accredited colleges, universities, and trade or technical schools.
- The $500 Dr. Ralph E. White Graduating Senior Scholarship honors the volunteer and public-service legacy of Dr. Ralph E. White and his wife, Eleanor. This additional scholarship provides $500 each to two successful applicants of the Volunteer Service Scholarship who intend to pursue a career in the medical field.
Only one application is required to be submitted for both scholarships. The 2025 Graduating High School Senior Scholarship is open to PTA members graduating from a California high school with a PTA/PTSA between now and June 30, 2025. If a student does not attend a PTA high school, they can qualify to apply as a volunteer on their local Council, District, or State PTA board.
The deadline to apply, reference forms/letters, and all supporting documents is Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 11:59 pm. Visit our Scholarships page for additional details and apply here.
