The James R. Hoffa Memorial Scholarship Fund received hundreds of applications this year from across the U.S. and Canada. All applications submitted by the March 2 deadline are now being reviewed. Winners will be announced in June, or before. As in past years, the JRHMSF will award $1.2 million in scholarships this year: Academic scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 and Vocational/Training program scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000.
Another source of funding is the Teamsters Scholarship Fund whose application deadline is April 1. Details can be found at: www.teamster.org
In addition, the Tuition Discount Network offers funding to all Teamsters and members of their families. The ISTS Tuition Discount Network (TDN) is a list of For-Profit and Non-Profit colleges and universities that offer reduced tuition. The amount of the reduction varies by school and can sometimes be as specific as major. Make sure you identify yourself as a Teamster when applying.
