2025 ARTA Scholarship Program
Description
In keeping with its continuing support for education, The ARTA scholarship program is made possible by the generosity of ARTA Members and Orbit Insurance Services, a service partner for home and auto insurance. Orbit Insurance Services provides, through ARTA, scholarships to students who are related to an ARTA member. These scholarships recognize academic achievement plus community involvement and volunteer work. Future goals, personal accomplishment and supporting letters of reference will also be significant in the overall determination of the scholarship recipients. ARTA awards up to eight $5,000 scholarships in this category.
ARTA also awards two scholarships for ARTA 101 Members (currently working teachers with active ARTA 101 memberships) and their relatives. The future of education is in the hands of active teachers, and ARTA wants to give them the tools to shape it. ARTA awards one $2,500 scholarship annually to an active teacher pursuing additional education to support them in their career. ARTA also awards one $2,500 scholarship annually to the direct relative of an active teacher who is getting their first undergraduate degree or diploma and are in their second, third, or fourth year of study.
