The Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation offers scholarships to assist future teachers and to encourage quality education in Indiana. The scholarships are competitive as there are many applicants and only eight winners. The $3,000 scholarships were awarded at Indiana Retired Teachers Association’s annual Representative Assembly on May 19, 2010. The scholarship is available to sophomores or juniors who are majoring in education at an Indiana college or university.
Congratulations to the Indiana Retired Teachers Association
2010 Scholarship Recipients!

The Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation,
Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation organized
under the laws of Indiana and the United States and
approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a
charitable organization. Donations to the foundation
from individuals, firms, corporations and
associations are tax deductible to the extent
allowed by law.
The Foundation will use its funds and the
income it receives exclusively for educational
purposes, including providing eight scholarships to
college students who plan to become teachers.
The
Foundation is also used for programs such as
retirement planning, member concerns and services,
and for community service activities to help retired
people and others. The Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation accepts memorial
donations, bequests in wills and revocable trusts,
and other gifts.
Memorial
donations can be made to the foundation to honor a
deceased relative or friend who had been a teacher.
A letter announcing the memorial gift can be sent to
the person the donor designates, and the donor will
receive acknowledgement. The name of the person
memorialized with the gift will be published
quarterly in the Indiana Retired Teachers Association newsletter, The Bulletin
Board.
Donations can also be
made by anyone interested in supporting the
Foundation, or the scholarship fund specifically.
Donor names will also appear in the newsletter.

Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation. Funds may be allocated to the

help support college students who aspire to become

demonstrate appreciation and support for the work of
the association and the foundation.

Director manage Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation funds.
