2017 Michael J. Quill Scholarship Winners Announced

2017 Michael J. Quill Scholarship Winners Announced

Air, Gaming, Rail, Transit

Established in 1969, the Quill Scholarship Fund provides 15 scholarships worth $4,800 to college-bound dependents of TWU members. It is paid out per 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.

This year, International President John Samuelsen was joined by International Vice President and Transit Division Director Jerome Lafragola who administered the drawing, assisted by several members of TWU International staff. Several Air Division presidents were also in attendance, and TWU International Executive Secretary Tinisha Thompson managed the entire scholarship process.

TWU leadership is committed to honoring the tradition of investing in the educational goals of our members’ children and is grateful to be joined in this noble endeavor by three other scholarship sponsors—Union Benefit Planners, M3 Technology and Pitta & Giblin LLP.

The winners came from locals large and small across TWU divisions, representing some of the best and brightest students in the country, eager to continue their education. They can now do so with some financial assistance to make the journey a little easier. TWU will continue to honor our founder by investing in the next generation and to support the commitment to learning that all the Quill Scholarship applicants exhibit. Our members and their families are our greatest asset.
