10 Students Win AFSCME Family Scholarships This Year
By Melissa Weinstein ·

Getting a college education is important but paying for college can be overwhelming. To relieve some of the financial stress, AFSCME provides several scholarships that bring students closer to their dream of achieving a higher education.

Ten students won this year’s AFSCME Family Scholarships. These winners will each receive $2,000 toward their college education, renewable annually for up to four years if they remain enrolled in a full-time course of study in any field.

AFSCME Family Scholarship winners must be graduating high school seniors at the time of application, and children of – or financially dependent grandchildren of – active, full, dues-paying AFSCME members or active retiree members, and have taken the ACT or SAT.

At the time the scholarship is awarded, recipients must be enrolled in a full-time degree program at an accredited college or university or at a two-year institution that will transfer credits to a four-year institution.

Congratulations to our 2018 winners. Their names and the locations and AFSCME affiliations of their parents or grandparents are listed below:
