Do you work in a high school? Make sure high school seniors in your school apply for a $5,000 Albert Shanker college scholarship. The application deadline is Jan. 31, 2020. Each year, the UFT awards $1 million in scholarships to academically excellent and financially eligible New York City public high school seniors through the Albert Shanker College Scholarship Fund. If you do not work in a high school, please reach out to family, friends and community members who may qualify for this award. To receive a $5,000 scholarship from the fund, those selected must be accepted in a full-time, matriculated, degree-granting program at an accredited college or university. You can get more information on the scholarship and the application form on the UFT website.
