Local 295/851 Scholarship Fund

The executive boards of Locals 295 and 851 came together in 2007 to create a joint Scholarship Fund for dependent children of our members with the belief that supporting the education of our children only benefits our society.

With the ever increasing tuition costs, we are honored to be able to help children of our members pursue a program of undergraduate education.   Since the creation of the Scholarship Fund in 2007 we are proud to have awarded over 45 Scholarships totaling over $120,000.

Scholarship Criteria

  • Applicant MUST be a child or legal dependant of a current Local 295 member in good standing for at least the past 12 months.

  • Applicant MUST be a graduating high school student entering as a freshman in the fall to a two or four year public / private college or other accredited educational institution.

  • Applicant MUST submit a typed essay (Essay topic will be on the application).

Applications are generally available in the spring of each year.  All work locations will be notified when the scholarship program is open and when applications are available, so keep an eye on your Union Bulletin Boards.

APPLICATIONS MAY ONLY BE REQUESTED VIA E-MAIL TO:  scholarship@local295-851.com

To request an application, send an e-mail and include the following information:

An investment in our children is an investment in labors' future.
