The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation

The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation awards six $1,500 scholarships to incoming juniors or seniors in college that are pursuing a degree in education. Thanks to a very generous private donation from one of our members, Areas 4 and 6 each have the opportunity to award a second scholarship of $3,000. This years’ winners were chosen through competition with other applicants from their own area of the state.

In December, information regarding the Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation Scholarship program is sent to all the major State Universities in Illinois, all Community Colleges in Illinois as well as all IRTA Unit Presidents and Unit Foundation Chairs.
