New Teacher Scholarships
New Teacher Scholarships
Beginning Teacher Scholarships provide funds to college seniors and first-year educators. The funds help reimburse an applicant for certifications and test results and to purchase materials for his or her classroom during the first year of teaching.
Senior Scholarships
FARSP supports aspiring teachers by offering an annual scholarship to a graduating senior.
JAR Volunteers
JAR stands for "Just Ask a Retiree". Teachers and other personnel in Frisco can reach out to our JAR Coordinator Susan Burkett when they need a volunteer. She will reach out to members to volunteer. If you'd like to volunteer when opportunities arise, make sure you fill out a volunteer background check yearly by visiting https://friscoisd.voly.org/ .
