Fulfill Your College Goals

Gary and Rose MusonesSEIU helps working families fulfill their dreams in many different ways. This includes yearly college scholarship opportunities.

In today's economy, every bit helps. That's why SEIU International awards 52 scholarships that allow SEIU members and their children to attend accredited colleges, universities and technical schools.

Local 521 also gives out scholarships (10 each year), separate from the International's scholarships.

"It's a good benefit to help members' children receive higher education," said Gary Musones, a Monterey County I.T. worker. Gary's daughter Amanda won a Local 521 scholarship in June 2009.
