The TWU International awarded 15 four-year college scholarships to the sons and daughters of TWU members from across the country. The random drawing for this year's winners took place at the International's headquarters at 1700 Broadway in New York City on June 2.

The 15 winners and 10 alternates were drawn from hundreds of applicants by TWU Education and Research Coordinator Helen Mahoney.

The scholarships are worth $4,800 each, paid over a four-year period, for use at any accredited four-year college. In addition to the 15 Quill Scholarships, five other grants amounting to a one-time $2,400 payment each were awarded by Union Benefit Planners, an employee benefits consulting firm.

Also, ATD Local 514 funds five additional $4,800 scholarships for children of its members and Transit Division Local 252 funds five one-year scholarships for its members.

The Quill Scholarship Program is supervised by International Executive Vice President Harry Lombardo with the able assistance of Administrative Secretaries Bernadette Uckele and Carlean Williams.
