In Honor of our late Brother Lanny Bakalyar, Local 668 funds one $1,000 scholarship each year. A winner and an alternate will be drawn by lot during the March General Membership meeting, March 26th. The member must be present to win.

Eligibility

Only members of AFSCME Local 668 may submit applications on behalf of their children.

• Please note this scholarship is for the children/legal dependents of members – not the members themselves.
• To be eligible to apply on behalf of your child/legal dependent, you must be:

• A full member of AFSCME Local 668 for at least 90 days prior to the date of the drawing (by December 27th); or

• The parent or legal guardian of the child.

Eligible students must be:

• Enrolled the current high school graduating class; or
• Enrolled in a post-secondary school, no more than five years after high school graduation (i.e., the student graduated between 2015-2019); AND
• will use the scholarship within one year of the drawing at an accredited a post-secondary school, including colleges, universities, vocational, or technical/ trade schools.
• Winners must provide evidence to the Local that their eligible student has used the scholarship at an eligible school within one year of the drawing, or they will forfeit the scholarship to the alternate winner.
