"An injury to one, is an injury to all."

The Local Union Council and members of Local 300 of the National Postal Mail Handlers Union are proud to announce the annual competition for the Bernard Holloway, John A. Orchard, Edward J. Miller, Wally Merwin, and Aaron Preston Memorial Scholarship Awards.

We will be awarding five (5) $1,000 scholarships for study at an accredited college, university, or trade school. The scholarships are available for children, grandchildren, and legal wards of our regular members.

The five brothers memorialized in this scholarship devotedly served the cause of Mail Handlers and enabled us all to benefit.

In awarding these scholarships we re-affirm our commitment to increasing the educational opportunities available to our members and to the working class. We also reaffirm our commitment to struggle for knowledge and genuine democracy in order to create a better world in which an informed and enlightened people can best decide their fate.

All members are urged to read the “Requirements” for consideration and to urge every eligible applicant (a regular union member’s child, grand-child, or legal ward who meets the scholarship requirements) to apply.

Completed applications must be received at Local 300 headquarters by September 7, 2010. 

Applications can be obtained from your Local 300 Shop Stewards, by clicking here or by contacting Treasurer Kevin Tabarus at Local 300 HQ (212) 431-0040.
