Since 1992, the Union Plus Scholarship Program has awarded more than

benefited from our commitment to higher education. The Union Plus
Scholarship Program is offered through the Union Plus Education
Foundation.
See eligibility below.
How does the Union Plus Scholarship Program work?
Evaluation criteria:
This is a competitive scholarship. Applicants are evaluated according
to academic ability, social awareness, financial need and appreciation
of labor. A GPA of 3.0 or higher is recommended.
The required essay can account for up to half your total score.
Scholarship applicants are judged by a committee of impartial post-secondary educators.
Application Deadline:
A complete application must be received on or before 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
Scholarship Award Amounts:
Amounts range from $500 to $4,000. These one-time cash awards are for
study beginning in the Fall of 2012. Students may re-apply each year.
Award date:
The Scholarship Committee will determine recipients of scholarship
awards by May 31 each year. During the first two weeks of June award
recipients will be individually notified by mail, and all applicants
will be sent an email with notification that the award list is posted at UnionPlus.org/Scholarships.
Please note that due to the volume of applications we cannot provide
any information on the status of an application before award
announcements are made.
