The Madera Division of the California Retired Teachers is once again accepting applications for scholarships from local high school seniors interested in becoming teachers.

Knowing they can make a dramatic impact on the life of a child is what drives many to become teachers. By offering scholarships, the organization hopes to help others work toward a degree in education.

Last year the division awarded six $500 scholarships to students who graduated from a high school in Madera County and who want to teach.

"Madera's retired teachers continue to support and encourage education with these scholarship," said member Martha Conley.
