This year, the UAW Local 2488 Education Committee awarded two $500 scholarships to high school seniors who are dependants of members of Local 2488. Three volunteer nonpartisan academic, business, or labor leaders were selected to perform the judging of the applications. Judging was based on total cumulative points with respect to their total high school GPA, an essay, volunteer and/or community service, and grammer & neatness. The applications with the highest cumulative scores were awarded the scholarships.

The 2012 UAW 2488 Education Committee Scholarship recipients are:

Adam Falasz, son of Brian Falasz (C-6)

Gregory Wolf, son of Gary Wolf (F-5)

Congratulations to the winning applicants.

Thank you to everyone who applied.   

“The scholarship program is a great opportunity for members and their families to learn more about their union in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. The only expense for most families is their time, as the International Union pays for meals, transportation, and lodging.” For more information about this program, please click the link or call the Union Center at (309) 828-2880.

The Relay For Life event will be held on June 22, 2012 at Normal West High School. To donate or join the team, you may contact Team Captain Jerry Harcharik at 828-2880 or jharcharik@uaw2488.com.
