High school seniors whose parents or legal guardians are affiliated union members (or, as occasionally happens, high school seniors who are themselves affiliated union members) can compete for one of the $1,000 scholarships by going to this link and following the instructions.

The AFL-CIO reports that the national Union Plus Scholarship Program carries its traditional Jan. 31 deadline. For information on that program, go here.
