Thousands of dollars in scholarship money will go out.
Union members and their families can compete for $8,000 in scholarship money through the 2022 Adolph Stutz Memorial Scholarship contest.
The Essay Competition will launch on March 1, 2022, and end at midnight on July 1, 2022. Judges are planning to announce the winners on August 1.
Funded by Machinists and Aerospace Union (District 141), the contest awards six $1,000 checks and two $2,000 prizes to eligible students each year.
The topic of the 700 to 1,000-word essays will be, "Why are Labor Unions Important in the 2020s?" An impartial Scholarship Committee will judge the submissions.
"Our union's mission has always been to lift working people so they can build better lives for themselves and their loved ones," said District President Mike Klemm. "We are proud to offer the Adolph Stutz Memorial Scholarship as one way our District helps members and their families achieve their dreams."
The District 141 Education Department is dedicated to providing our members a greater understanding of how our union works and ensuring that our Union Stewards are as highly trained as possible.
To do this, we are proud to offer in-person training classes at your local lodge. To find out about scheduling training at your location, contact your Local Lodge leadership, or the Director of Education for District 141, Mac McGovern.
