Our yearly scholarship programs enable SEIU members and their children to pursue their educational goals at accredited colleges, universities, and technical schools.
“I will use this scholarship towards tuitions and books for the 2-year nursing program at RCTC in Rochester, MN,” says Candice May Hall. “I plan to graduate in May 2012 and continue on to a 4-year degree in nursing.”
