The United Association Scholarship Trust Fund is currently accepting applications for the 2021-2022 academic year scholarship awards. UA members in good standing, their children, grandchildren, and spouses are eligible to apply if they are dependent on the union member’s financial support. The three most important considerations in determining who receives a UA scholarship are the applicant’s academic standing, personal achievements, and community participation. However, financial need may also be considered in “tie-breaker” situations. Applicants must be a full-time student to apply. Applications are exclusively accepted electronically through uascholarshipfund.communityforce.com.

Up to 112 scholarships totaling as much as $222,000 will be awarded this year, including 106 for students pursuing undergraduate studies and up to six for students pursuing graduate studies. Scholarships range from $1,500 to $5,000 each. The deadline for submitting applications is June 9, 2021.
