Recently NRTA: AARP’s Educator Community was pleased to identify 10 retired educator volunteers to serve as preliminary judges for the AARP Foundation’s Women’s Scholarship Program. The volunteers from around the country judged a record number of entries.
The Scholarship Program assists low-income women over 40 who are seeking new job skills, training, and educational opportunities to support themselves and their families. Scholarships, ranging between $500 and $5,000 depending on the cost of the program recipients enter, help scholarship winners overcome financial and employment barriers and remain independent for years to come.

What better group to assess someone’s potential to succeed in education than those with the wealth of experience presented by the NRTA volunteers? It is just another example of how retired educators can use their skills and energy to help others. You can support this scholarship program here.
