Since 1992, the Union Plus Scholarship Program has awarded more than $3.2 million to students of working families who want to begin or continue their post-secondary education. Over 2,100 families have benefited from our commitment to higher education. 

The Dreams of Jobs and Freedom Scholarship

In 2013, to commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, the AFL-CIO and Union Plus offered scholarships to help graduating high school seniors realize their dreams of a college education.

The one-time $5,000 scholarships were for study for the academic year beginning in the fall 2013 through summer 2014. Sixty scholarships were awarded.
