Honorary Service Awards

The Honorary Service Award Program is a series of awards that PTAs may present to recognize the community service of their individual volunteers and the valued service of organizations that are their community partners. All monies contributed to this program are used exclusively to fund the California Scholarship and Grant Program.

The program offers five, distinctive types of awards:
Honorary Service Award (HSA) – This award is given to recognize an individual or organization for outstanding service to children and youth in your community, going above and beyond what is asked of them.
 
Continuing Service Award (CSA) – This award is given to recognize an individual or organization for ongoing or long-time service to children and youth, providing support year after year.
 
Golden Oak Service Award (GOSA) – This award is given to recognize, as the most prestigious of the Honorary Service Awards, an individual or organization that has made significant contributions to the welfare of children and youth in a school or community.
 
Very Special Person Award (VSP) – This award is given to recognize an individual or organization for their service to PTA.
 
In Memoriam or Tribute Donations – This award is issued when donations of $10 or more are made by PTAs or by individuals in tribute to a person, a group or in memoriam.
