The idea for the scholarship program began at the thirteenth constitutional convention as a memorial to our first International President and other deceased members of our union. The fund provides 15 college scholarships of $1,200.00 each, annually renewable for four consecutive years. The scholarship money is paid directly to the college that the successful applicant attends and may be used only for tuition, college fees, or room and board while attending college and pursuing an undergraduate degree. Renewal of the scholarship for the second and succeeding years is conditioned upon successful completion of the regular course of studies in the preceding year, as attested by the college. We are particularly proud that the Quill Scholarship provides continued support to its recipients throughout their college careers.

TWU leadership is committed to honoring the tradition of investing in the educational goals of our members’ children. This year’s recipients represent some of the best and brightest students in the country, and we are thrilled to honor their educational achievements and helping to support their commitment to learning. Out of hundreds of applicants, this year’s awardees were selected by Executive Vice President John Samuelsen, and TWU retiree Francine Albach drew the names. Below is a full list of recipients, as well as acknowledgement of the generous benefactors that fund the scholarship program.
