Union Plus scholarship info (1/8)

The AFL-CIO reminds affiliates that there’s still time to apply for a Union Plus scholarship, though the deadline – January 31 – is fast approaching. Current and retired members of AFL-CIO unions participating in any Union Plus program (the SIU is enrolled in several), their spouses and their dependent children can apply for a Union Plus scholarship. The amount of the award ranges from $500 to $4,000. This is a one-time cash award sent to individual winners for undergraduate study beginning in the fall of the same year. Applicants may be current students, or plan to attend a college, university, community college, technical or trade school. Participating AFL-CIO union members from Puerto Rico, Canada, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are eligible to apply.
