AFSCME Family Scholarship Program Winners Announced
by Clyde Weiss | April 03, 2013
Ten high school seniors – dependents of AFSCME members – will receive financial support for college through this year’s AFSCME Family Scholarship Program.
The program is open to graduating high school seniors who are also a child of (or financially dependent grandchild of) an active or retired, full dues-paying AFSCME member. In addition, the person must be an applicant to an accredited college or university and subsequently accepted as a full-time student in a four year degree program.
Each $2,000 scholarship, which may be used for any field of study, can be renewed each year for a maximum of four years provided the student remains enrolled in a full-time course of study.
