I have a question about the contract. It says the dependent scholarship is restored up to $1500 per year. Does anyone know if this is a competitive scholarship or do dependents just have to apply to get it? Our daughter pays cash for college, but ever little bit helps. Thanks in advance for any info shared.

Thanks in advance for any info shared. Just apply, its for everyone. Believe its $750 per semester, at least thats they way it was before. You have to pay taxes on that amount & believe they take the taxes out of your check in december, best I remember that is how it was done

Basically a free education for working at UPS 3 hours a night. Highly recommend.

The scholarship will run Jan to December each calendar year. Each dependent is eligible for it and will be paid to the employee after the money is spent at the accredited college. The change from last time we had it is now each student who receives it must do 8 hours of community service. Not sure if that is for the union or how that works but everything will come to light in the new year.

Not sure if that is for the union or how that works but everything will come to light in the new year. In the Contract Summary book on page 21 "Dependent Scholarship" is hi-lited as being restored. In the motified contract there are two available scholarships listed: Community Engagement pg.379c-380c (volunteered hours) and Dependent Scholarship pg. 388c-389c, although they both appear to be lined out?
