The Indiana Retired Teachers Association Foundation offers scholarships to assist future teachers and to encourage quality education in Indiana. The competitive scholarship program produces only eight winners, one from each of the Indiana Retired Teachers Association's geographic areas. The 2011 winners received $3,000 to put toward their education. The scholarships are awarded during the Indiana Retired Teachers Association's annual Representative Assembly in May.
The scholarships are available to Indiana college or university education majors who are the sons/daughters, grandsons/granddaughters, legal dependents or spouses of active, retired or deceased educators.

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

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

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.
