Retirees Association Offers Scholarships
The MCPS Retirees Association (MCPSRA) is offering both continuing education and summer scholarships for MCPS staff. MCPSRA will award a $1,000 scholarship from the Louise Smith Walker Scholarship Fund for the continuing education of any teacher employed by MCPS. Walker was a teacher, principal and supervisor who retired from MCPS in 1968. MCPSRA also will award eight $1,000 scholarships and three $750 Memorial scholarships to help defray costs of course work in a recognized educational program for summer school 2008. Any current MCPS staff member is eligible to apply. Scholarships will be awarded based on the applicants’ educational goals and financial needs. The awards may be used toward the cost of tuition, books or other expenses. Applications and information for both types of scholarships will be distributed to all MCPS facilities and school offices in early March.
The deadline for receipt of applications is April 7, 2008.
