Texas AFL-CIO Scholarship Program

Description

Members or children of members of local unions or children whose legal guardians are members of local unions that are affiliated with the Texas AFL-CIO and the local Central Labor Council may apply for the Texas AFL-CIO Scholarship Program. Applicants must be high school seniors who are planning to attend a university, college or technical institute in the summer or fall term. Please be sure to list the Central Labor Council, with which your parent's or legal guardian's local union is affiliated. Make sure the application is signed by a union officer and a parent or legal guardian. If you are unsure that your local union is affiliated with your local Central Labor Council, please contact one of your local union officers. A packet of material on organized labor will be sent to each applicant in March to prepare for a test about unions. Each Central Labor Council will arrange all interviews and tests for applicants no later than April 26, 2024. Please contact your Central Labor Council if you have not received notice of an interview by April 5, 2024. After interviews and tests are conducted, each local Central Labor Council will select semi finalists from among their applicants. The statewide Scholarship Committee of the Texas AFL-CIO will select winners from among the semi-finalists. Applications may also be submitted through mail but applicants are encouraged to submit through email to avoid any delays. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact Edward Sills, Texas AFL-CIO Communications Director for more information.
