Apply to attend the 2011 UAW Family Scholarship Program

Applications are now available for this summer’s 2011 Family Scholarship Program at the Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center in Onaway, Mich.

The long-running program allows UAW members to rediscover their labor activism while providing a fun learning experience for the family.

Children ages 3-7 and 8-11 go to age-appropriate day camps where they participate in creative arts, music, games, athletics and swimming. Youngsters ages 12-15 get their feet wet in labor activism with specially designed workshops, plus activities such as golf, swimming and gym games. And teens ages 16-18 participate in a program to prepare them for the working world.

Your union pays for all lodging, food and program costs. Participants may choose to pay for other things such as group photographs, gift shop items, golf or activities in nearby communities.

To be eligible for a family scholarship, you must be a UAW member in good standing for at least a year and never have attended the scholarship program. This summer's three sessions are July 10-15, July 17-22 (which also offers a session in Spanish) and July 24-29.
