Each year, IRTAF awards 10 scholarships (one in each Area) to help promote our profession and assist college students who have a passion for the classroom.Scholarships are awarded to juniors or seniors in an Indiana college or university who are in a program leading to a degree in education.We promote the scholarships in Indiana's institutions of higher learning, but we also encourage our local chapters to promote applicants. Scholarships are awarded by our IRTAF Scholarship Committee.

- The student applicant is an Indiana resident.- The applicant must have been accepted into the Education Program of an Indiana college or university to be eligible to apply.- An applicant may apply with sophomore class standing in order to receive the scholarship as a junior, or an applicant may apply with junior class standing in order to receive the scholarship as a senior. Class standing shall be determined according to the records of the Indiana college or university. The scholarship award will be issued to a qualified applicant who is enrolled full-time in the education program of an Indiana-based college or university.- Once a student has been selected as a scholarship recipient and enrolls for the following fall term, he or she shall receive the full value of the scholarship.- All financial awards shall be paid directly to the Financial Aid Administrative Office of the individual Indiana college or university in which the respective scholarship award recipient is enrolled.- If it is in the best financial interest of the scholarship recipient, the recipient may request that the scholarship be held in escrow for one year.
