Betty Teel Conference Scholarship

The Tri-Cities Chapter Teachers Scholarship was set up by Betty Teel and her family to encourage members of the chapter to attend the annual WSMTA Conference. Betty Teel was an active member of this chapter and worked at the state level as well. Two scholarships, to be used to attend the state conference, will be awarded at the end of the year to teachers who have fulfilled the criteria.

Betty's family continues to sponsor this very important scholarship. For more information go to the file on this page for details in how to apply.
