CLEVELAND, January 5 — Two $250 scholarships are available to children of BLET members who belong to Division 57 in Boston, Mass.
The scholarships are awarded to college-bound high school seniors, and will be awarded based on their score on a labor history exam, administered by the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, said Walter H. Nutter of Division 57.
By taking the exam, students also become eligible for eight more scholarships through the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. While the Division 57 scholarship is limited to children of that division’s members, the general Massachusetts AFL-CIO scholarship competition is open to children of all BLET members living in Massachusetts. The test will be given on February 7, so students must act right away.
The scholarship forms and the labor history exam study guide are available on the Division 57 website at:
