SCHOLARSHIP INFOTo assist our membership seeking information on other scholarships and/or educational financial assistance, listed below are several links which will connect you with other union sites offering such services. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM The message below is for personnel who may have taken college courses during the 2006-2007 academic year. If you are enrolled in a Maryland-based program that leads to either an EMS or Fire degree then you may be eligible for 100% reimbursement through the Charles W. Riley Firefighter and EMS Tuition Reimbursement Program. The deadline is July 1. Please contact Ms. Rogers directly at the MD Higher Education Commission with any questions. Michael W. Robinson Sr., Division Chief :
Fire-Rescue Academy Baltimore County Fire Department
ASHCRAFT & GEREL, LLP generously offers a UNION SCHOLARSHIP for each academic year. They usually sponsor TWO $2,500 scholarships: one for undergraduate, one for post-graduate. All applicants must be members in good standing of a Baltimore Area AFL-CIO affiliated union, or someone in the immediate family of a member of the participating union. Selection is based upon an evaluation of academic ability, a statement of goals, participation in extracurricular activities (including community work), and/or employment. Application kits are typically available after July 1 by stopping by Local 1311 (call first), or by calling A&G's Receptionist at 410-539-1122. You will need a Local officer (or Elizabeth!) to verify the union membership on the application form. Pay close attention to detail. Completed applications must be received around mid-August (2007 dates not yet available), and winners will be selected around the end of September. The "America's 9/11 Foundation, Inc." has SCHOLARSHIPS available for family members of Fire, Police and EMS workers. For info and applications, visit their website www.americas911foundation.org. This is an essay application and the deadline for this year's applications is April 16, 2007. Thanks to Tab Badders for providing this information! The International Association of Fire Fighters has several SCHOLARSHIPS available, which are designed to fit specific needs. The first is the W. H. "Howie" McClennan Scholarship which presents awards annually to the sons, daughters or legally adopted children of fire fighters who have died in the line of duty. The awards assist members wanting to attend a university, accredited college or school of higher learning in the United States or Canada. Learn more. The second is the Harvard University Trade Union Program Scholarship which presents two awards to IAFF members in good standing to attend the Harvard University Trade Union Program. Learn more. Other sites to visit:
We have no "interest" or experience with any of these listings; they are included here just to give you a quick and easy sampling of what we found on-line! When you do a search through your browser on "scholarships," you'll find literally dozens of sites which either offer to help you find scholarships, or offer scholarships of their own. You may want to limit your searches to states/locations, types of studies (academic, industrial, art, etc.), fields of interest (law, medical, trade, etc.), or types of college (two-year, university, etc.). It never hurts to ask ... or in this case, to apply. With so much money available, there's no need to put all your eggs in one basket. Good luck!!!
