BOILERMAKER SCHOLARSHIPS are open to high school seniors who will be entering their first year of a two- or four-year academic program at a degree-granting, accredited college or university within one year of their high school graduation and who are dependents of Boilermaker members in good standing.
A dependent may be a son, daughter, legally adopted child, or other dependent of an active, retired, disabled, or deceased member.
Winners are chosen based on a variety of criteria that include grades, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and a written essay on an assigned topic.
Applications for the 2008 awards will be available from your local lodge at the end of this year and will be accepted from January 1 to March 1, 2008. Applications postmarked after the March 1, 2008 deadline cannot be considered.
Contact your local lodge to get an application. The International will not mail applications to individuals.
Some local lodges have their own scholarship programs. Scholarships are also available through the Union Plus credit card program and some state and regional labor councils.
For information on their scholarship programs, contact these organizations directly.
