Four of the scholarships are awarded for academic achievement and are $1,000.00 each.  The $1,000.00 Philip T. Chancholo Memorial Scholarship is awarded for the best essay on “What Organized Labor Means to Me.” The remaining scholarships are $500.00 each and are selected by lottery. 

Applications for scholarships are made available through your union steward usually in March.  The Executive Board selects winners of the scholarships in May.
