The Local 52 I.A.T.S.E is pleased to announce the formation of a Scholarship Fund for the benefit of members and their families. It is the goal of this program to help members meet the increasing financial demands of providing a college education for their children. Administration of the Scholarship Fund by Scholarship America®, assures both competent and impartial treatment for all applicants.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years (four years if the student documents a bonafide five-year undergraduate program) or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first.
