The Thirteenth Constitutional Convention of the Transport Workers Union of America, AFL-CIO - as a memorial to our first International President and to the other deceased members of our Union - authorized the creation of the Michael J. Quill Scholarship Fund. The Fund provides each year 15 college scholarships of $1,200.00 each, annually renewable for four consecutive years. Each scholarship, therefore, is worth $4,800.00 to the successful student who completes four years of college.
The scholarship will be awarded in the summer of each year to students then seniors and attending high school or other corresponding secondary school, who are entering an accredited college in the following Fall term.
The scholarship money will be paid directly to the college that the successful applicant attends and may be used only for tuition, college fees, or room and board while attending college and pursuing an undergraduate degree.
Renewal of the scholarship for the second and succeeding years will be conditioned upon successful completion of the regular course of studies in the preceding year, as attested by the college.
