Local 19 Scholarship Program
|
Every year, through the Karl Weinberg Scholarship Fund, Local 19 offers Academic and Random Scholarship awards to members, their spouses, or the dependent children of members.
We are happy to announce that we were able to award scholarships again in 2017: Three (3) Academic and Three (3) Random. |
|
The growth and development of our Scholarship Program is dependent upon the full participation of our membership. We rely not only on our members to buy and sell chances, but encourage your support in purchasing boosters, ads, and tickets to the Annual Dinner Dance in March. As proceeds from these purchases continue to increase each year, we in turn will be able to offer more scholarships and funding to the leaders of tomorrow. We should all feel responsible that our children receive the financial assistance to attain an education that will prepare them for the future.
The Academic Awards are for twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) - paid in three thousand dollar ($3,000) increments each year for four (4) years - and are open to students entering their Freshman year of college in the Fall of 2017.
The Random drawing is open to students who are currently enrolled in college and those entering college in the Fall of 2017. The Random scholarship is a one time award of three thousand dollars ($3,000).
The winners will be selected at the March 2017 Philadelphia Union Meeting.
