*IMPORTANT CANCELLATION NOTICE*

With so much uncertainly regarding access to the golf course, golf cart capacity limits, and social distancing regulations, the determination was made to cancel this year’s Local 51 Scholarship Golf Outing. We are still working out the details, but we are reaching out to former sponsors so that we can still try to give away as many scholarships as possible. The scholarship drawing will take place at the August Executive Board meeting.

Scholarships are available to all members, their spouses, children, step children and grandchildren.

To be eligible, the individual has to be currently enrolled in college, university or technical school. Information required: member name; member's employer; applicants name and relationship to member; name of school attending.
