Labor's Training and Community Development Alliance Scholarship Now Available

We are proud to announce a new scholarship for high school seniors who are children of union members in good standing with their local union.

The first year scholarship will be $2,500 with continued scholarship assistance of an additional $1,000 per year for a maximum of three additional years if the student continues to meet scholarship standards.

The goal of the program is to assist students in their educational endeavors at a trade or technical school, community college, four-year university or college. The deadline for applying will be no later than 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 31, 2012.

Please review the scholarship policy statement and application form below. The application process includes submitting two letters of recommendation, current high school transcripts, a letter from the student's parent/guardian's union verifying their good standing with their local, and a 500-700 word essay.

The year's topic for the essay is,"What is the biggest challenge for Unions today and what should they be doing about it?"

The scholarship, offered by The San Diego Labor Education and Development Fund, is being awarded by Labor's Training and Community Development Alliance, better known as Labor's Alliance, a local 501c3 organization.

If you or your students have any questions about scholarship and/or its terms, please contact Emily Howe at ehowe-11@sandiego.edu for additional information.
