From Sr. Communications Specialist John Watson:

As members of SEIU Local 2579, CSUEU members are eligible to apply for the SEIU Scholarship Program on behalf of themselves or their family members. Through five different scholarship programs, SEIU awards 52 scholarships that enable SEIU members and their children to pursue their educational goals at colleges, universities, labor study programs and technical schools. The application period is now open, with applications due by March 1.

Each of these five scholarship programs requires a separate application form. Attached is the application form for one of the programs, the SEIU Lottery Scholarship Program. This application form requires correctly answering 10 questions based on the SEIU 2007 Annual Report in order to be entered in the scholarship lottery.

Application forms for the other four scholarships are available online and, like the lottery scholarship application form, may be submitted electronically. Full details are available at http://www.seiu.org/a/members/fulfill-your-college-goals-with-an-seiu-scholarship.php.
