Each year, our District awards several of these scholarships to qualified and deserving members — or their children, grandchildren or spouses — who are pursuing a college education. The scholarship amounts usually range between $1,000 and $2,000.
An independent committee selects the scholarship winners on the merits of essays submitted by the applicants. The topic for this year’s scholarship competition is “How can our Local Lodges better serve our communities?”
The rules of the competition are bellow, along with an application.
We urge you to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity for you or someone in your family. The scholarship can be used to help pay for tuition, fees, books, living expenses — it’s up to you, as long as it makes your life as a student easier!
Our union has always been about working people building better lives for themselves and their loved ones. The Adolph Stutz Memorial Scholarship is one of the ways our District helps its members reach for their dreams.
