AFT members and their children are eligible to participate in the Robert G. Scholars program, which awards four $8,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors and $1,000 grants to AFT members who are continuing their education. You can download ads to drop in your newsletter or membership publication from http://leadernet.aft.org/communicating/banner_ads/other/ The zipped folders–one with ads in .wmf format and one with .tif format–each have three sizes of ads you can use.

To apply for a scholarship or grant, download the application from the AFT Web site at www.aft.org/aftplus/scholarships or e-mail an application request toporterscholars@aft.org.
