Scholarship Committee
The Maryland Retired School Personnel Association Fund provides scholarship monies for currently employed educational personnel in the public schools of Maryland to become fully certified and qualified teachers. The MRSPA Fund was established in 1999 with a generous donation to the Association by the late Irl and Ella Beall, longtime MRSPA members. In the past eight years, contributions from MRSPA members and friends of the Association have helped this fund grow.
The Association is committed to use only interest and dividends from the fund to award annual scholarships. Selection of the scholarship recipients is the sole responsibility of the MRSPA Scholarship Committee. With the approval of the Board of Directors, innovative community programs dealing with retiree issues and initiated by the state or a local Education and Protective Services committee may receive monies from the MRSPA Fund.
As of May 2011, twenty-eight scholarships have been awarded. Each year, the MRSPA Scholarship Committee strives to increase the number of scholarships awarded, as well as, increasing the amount given.
MRSPA members and friends of the Association are urged and encouraged to make yearly contributions to this Fund. All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
