The union has been honoring our founder with these scholarships since 1969. Quill Scholarship awards have benefited hundreds of TWU families. Children of our members in transit, railroad and air transportation, utilities, public employment, space installations, and allied industries are among those who began their college educations with the help of the TWU’s signature scholarship.
The 2026 Michael J. Quill Scholarship Fund application process is now open. Winners will receive fifteen (15) college-bound dependents of TWU members a scholarship worth $4800.00. This scholarship will be paid out each year in the amount of $1200.00 to winners who continue to be eligible over their four (4) year college course. The scholarship application can be found HERE.
The deadline for all applications is April 27, 2026; no applications postmarked after this date will be accepted. No applications will be accepted by fax or email – there will be no exceptions. Winners of the scholarships will be determined by a public drawing, to be held in early June. Winners will be notified by mail 5-7 business days thereafter.
