The Fran Anderson Michigan PTA Scholarship
The Fran Anderson Michigan PTA Scholarship was created as a way to recognize high school seniors who have demonstrated leadership and advocacy skills through participation in PTA.
Fran Anderson, past Michigan PTA President, has always demonstrated the highest level of advocacy for all children and her leadership continues to have a positive impact on Michigan PTA. To honor her many years of being a champion for children, the scholarship was named in her honor.
The Scholarship is currently funded by proceeds from the sale of Michigan PTA Appreciation Awards and private donations.
