Theme: Spread the word

Do you know outstanding students who possess a commitment to the goals of the labor union movement, to SUNY and to the community? If so, tell them about UUP’s Eugene P. Link College Scholarships — it could be exactly what they need to make college a little more affordable and meaningful.

  • Among scholarship guidelines, applicants must:
    • be full-time undergraduates at a state-operated SUNY campus who have completed at least 16 credits and who have maintained a 3.75 GPA. An official transcript and bursar’s receipt are required;
    • exhibit dedication to the goals of the labor union movement, and to qualities held by Eugene P. Link, such as integrity, a quest for academic and personal excellence, and community service. Letters of evaluation and other evidence of good character and service to SUNY and the community are required.
  • Awards will be paid twice a year, $650 per semester, with annual adjustments tied to tuition. All scholarships are renewable on a semester-by-semester basis, up to five times, provided recipients remain in full-time attendance and maintain a 3.75 GPA, good character and service.

Tell your students they can get a full list of eligibility requirements and an application from their campus financial aid office, on the Web at http://www.uupinfo.org or by writing to Eugene P. Link College Scholarship Trust Fund, c/o United University Professions, P.O. Box 15143, Albany, N.Y. 12212-5143.
