Established in 1969, the Michael J. Quill Scholarship Fund provides 15 scholarships worth $4,800 to college-bound dependents of TWU members. It is paid out every year in the amount of $1,200 to winners who continue to be eligible over their four-year course of study. The money is paid directly to the recipient’s accredited college or university and may be used for tuition, college fees, or room and board while pursuing an undergraduate degree.
The TWU’s leadership remains committed to honoring the tradition of investing in the education of our members’ children and is grateful to be joined in this noble endeavor. This year, we were honored to have four additional scholarship sponsors, which added another 21 scholarships: Union Benefit Planners, M3Technology, Pitta LLP, and Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC. All of the above sponsored scholarships will be paid out in the first year, as a single scholarship. Below is a list of all the recipients.
