ARTA Scholarships

In keeping with its continuing support for education, ARTA has two annual scholarships that are awarded to students continuing their post-secondary studies: the ARTA-TW Insurance Degree Scholarship and the ARTA Certificate/Diploma Scholarship.

The Scholarship Selection Committee selects six recipients per scholarship. The winners of the scholarships are direct relatives of current ARTA members. These scholarships recognize academic achievement, community involvement, volunteer work, future goals and personal accomplishments.

If you have successfully completed one or more full years of a certificate/diploma or undergraduate/transfer program provided by an accredited post-secondary institution, we welcome you to explore the following scholarship opportunities.

ARTA also awards two scholarships for ARTA 101 Members (active teachers) and their relatives. The future of education is in the hands of active teachers, and ARTA wants to give them the tools to shape it. ARTA awards one $2,500 scholarship annually to an active teacher pursuing additional education to support them in their career. ARTA also awards one $2,500 scholarship annually to the direct relative of an active teacher who is getting their first undergraduate degree or diploma and are in their second, third, or fourth year of study.

TW Insurance Brokers provides, through ARTA, scholarships for undergraduate students who are related to an ARTA member.
