  UUP offers scholarships for SUNY students

 United University Professions (UUP), the nation’s largest higher education union, is looking for up to four SUNY undergraduates to qualify for $2,000 annual scholarships.

The UUP College Scholarship Fund awards are given annually to outstanding SUNY undergraduates who exhibit dedication to the goals and ideals of the labor union movement.  To qualify, students must also display both personal and academic achievement with a minimum grade point average of 3.75, and have a strong record of community service. The application deadline is March 1, 2008.

Scholarships applications are available at UUP chapter offices located at each of SUNY’s 29 state-operated campuses or at campus financial aid offices. Applications may also be obtained by calling UUP’s administrative office in Albany toll-free at (800) 342-4206 or by visiting UUP’s Web site at www.uupinfo.org/scholarships/scholarship.doc.

UUP represents more then 34,000 academic and professional faculty on 29 New York State-operated campuses, and is an affiliate of New York State United Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, and the AFL-CIO.
