Missouri PTA awards up to ten scholarships a year — worth $500 annually and renewable up to $2,000 total — to Missouri public high school seniors from a school district with an active PTA or PTSA unit who plan to earn a teaching degree. Selection weighs academics, teaching aptitude, and financial need, and recipients commit to teach one year in a classroom for every two years of scholarship support received. Applications go through your school counselor rather than directly to Missouri PTA, and only one application per school is accepted.
