Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Once again in 2010, Laborers' Local Union No. 894 is pleased to announce a scholarship program for dependents of full-time active members who were in good standing for two years as of January 1, 2010. Ten $1,000 scholarships will be awarded this summer to dependent high school seniors planning to enroll in a fully accredited four-year college or university upon high school graduation in 2010, as well as current dependent college undergraduates. This is a one-year non-renewable scholarship award.

We have contracted with Cleveland Scholarship Programs, Inc. (CSP) located in Cleveland, Ohio, to administer our Local 894's Scholarship Program. CSP was founded in 1966 and manages scholarship funds for local and national companies, organizations, and private clubs. By choosing CSP, we are assured that our scholarship applications will be evaluated professionally, accurately, and without bias.

To apply for the scholarship, applications may be made on-line beginning February 1, 2010, at www.local894.com

Eligible applications must be received by CSP no later than May 3, 2010

Enclosed is a brief Program Description, which will help you decide if your dependent may be eligible for the scholarship.
