The Cornelia Valentine Murphy Memorial Scholarship is for eligible members of Oregon AFSCME Council #75 and their dependents, grandchildren, and spouses. Qualifying members must have been active in the Oregon Council for more than one year as of the March scholarship deadline or have been a member for more than one year preceding the date of layoff, death, disability, or retirement. Part-time enrollment (minimum six credit hours) will be considered for active members, their spouses (or life partners), or laid-off members. February 15 is the Early Bird Deadline. Error-free applications will be entered into a drawing for one of several $1,000 Early Bird scholarships. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, that deadline will automatically be extended to 5:00 p.m. (PST) on the following business day.
