college education

Essay 1. Please submit an essay of approximately 350 words describing the strategies you have used, or plan to use in the coming year, to cut the costs of your college education. How do you intend to finance your education while trying to minimize your debt?

Essay 2. Please submit an essay of approximately 350 words describing your relationship with the union and the labor movement. In what ways has it personally affected your life and your family’s life?

• Because this is a union scholarship, we are looking for your own knowledge of unions and the labor movement. Although it may be included, please do not simply recite typical labor history. Write about personal stories and experiences. Many applicants may not be union members, but are the children or spouses of union members. Talk with union family members (parents, spouses, grandparents, etc.) and ask them about their experiences in the union. Relate personal stories and experiences on how being in a union has made a difference in their life and your life.
