Dear John,

FEEA’s annual scholarship competition is available for eligible students and open until March 14, 2024. The scholarship, which ranges from $1,000 to $5,000, can be used for tuition and fees at any accredited college or university.

Eligible students include:

• Their spouses
• Some associations and unions partner with FEEA and include scholarships for members, members’ children, grandchildren, spouses, or retiree members’ children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Details are included on the website.

AFGE families who apply to FEEA’s program are also eligible for special AFGE-sponsored awards, using the same application as the regular FEEA scholarship.

Eligible students for the AFGE-sponsored scholarships include:

• Current AFGE members who are active federal employees, and their dependents, spouses, and grandchildren

• Dependents and grandchildren must be under the age of 25

The AFGE-sponsored Fredna S. White Memorial Scholarship is open to AFGE women and their women family members, with the above eligibility requirements, and focuses on how the extra-curricular activities and community service of the student applying shows the embodiment of Fredna White’s spirit of activism and leadership.
