AFSCME Family Scholarship

Description

The AFSCME Family Scholarship Program is an ongoing program of scholarships available to children and financially-dependent grandchildren of full dues-paying AFSCME members. The scholarships may be renewed for $2,000 each year for a maximum of four years. Applicants must be a graduating high school senior who is the child of a full dues-paying AFSCME member or whose legal guardian or financially-responsible grandparent is a full dues-paying AFSCME member. At the time the scholarship is awarded, applicants must be accepted into a degree program either at an accredited four-year institution or a two-year institution that will transfer credits to a four-year institution. AFSCME has adopted a test-optional policy. SAT or ACT results are not required, but may be considered. The scholarship may be used for any field of study. Applicants may submit two letters of recommendation. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
