The California Retired Teachers Association, Division 24, is awarding scholarships to Solano County college graduates who want to teach locally but must first complete the requirements for a valid state teaching credential.
The C. Shirley Michel Scholarships are available to Solano County citizens with bachelor degrees who are currently enrolled in an accredited certification program and want to teach — or are already teaching — in the County.
According to a CalRTA press release, $4,000 scholarships were presented to each of five beneficiaries last year, and this is the 38th year that Solano County residents have benefited from the scholarships.
Applications are due March 22.
To apply for a scholarship or for more information, go todiv24.calrta.org/scholarships-and-grants/.
