2023 Jenkins Award Recipients
The Ardsley PTA has been giving the Jenkins Awards since 1953. Winners receive a lifetime membership to the New York State PTA, and a donation in their names is made to the Jenkins Memorial Scholarship for Teacher Education. This scholarship fund was established by the New York State PTA in October 1946 in memory of Clifford N. Jenkins Jr., son of the president of the New York State PTA at the time, Margaret Jenkins, who went on to become National PTA president in the 1960s. The fund was intended as a living memorial to young people who lost their lives in World War II. The $3,000 scholarships are given each year to outstanding public high school seniors who plan to attend a public institution of higher learning in New York State to prepare for a teaching career.
