Two exciting scholarship opportunities have come to our attention recently.

Union members and their children are eligible for $500 – $4,000 scholarships for college graduate and undergraduate programs.

DAVIS-PUTTER SCHOLARSHIP FUND Deadline: April 1, 2010
The Davis-Putter Scholarship Fund provides grants to students actively working for peace and justice. These need-based scholarships are awarded to those able to do academic work at the university level and who are part of the progressive movement on the campus and in the community. Early recipients worked for civil rights, against McCarthyism, and for peace in Vietnam. Recent grantees have been active in the struggle against racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression; building the movement for economic justice; and creating peace through international anti-imperialist solidarity.
