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.
Applications are now being accepted for the Michael J. Quill Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will offer 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.
We are also grateful to have four additional scholarship sponsors:
- Union Benefit Planners
- M3 Technology
- Pitta LLP
- Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC
All of the above sponsored scholarships will be paid out in the first year, as a single scholarship.
