Scholarship awards are based upon academic record, extra-curricular and outside school activities, career goals, and performance on a typed essay. The Scholarship Committee was impressed with the winners' exceptional grades throughout their high school years, their many achievement awards, their participation in many extracurricular activities and their well written essays. Applications for the 2002 awards will be available after December 15, 2001. Contact your local lodge for more information and an application form.
Some local lodges have their own scholarship programs.
Scholarships are also available through the Union Plus credit card program and some state and regional labor councils. For information on their scholarships, contact these organizations directly. The Union Plus Credit Card Scholarship Program is open to members of unions that are participating in the credit card program, their spouses, and dependent children attending or planning to attend a four-year college or university, community college, technical college, or trade school. Union Plus Credit Card Scholarship Program applications are available beginning in September. Application deadline is January 31.
