MALF Andy Ward Scholarship

Since 2002, the Maricopa Area Labor Federation has awarded the Andy Ward Scholarship to three applicants who are union members or the dependents of union members to help with the educational or vocational expenses.

The awards this year will be in the amount of $2,000, $1,000, and $500, to applicants who submit an essay based on this prompt:

"In today’s polarized political climate and the antiunion behavior exhibited by some of our elected officials, how can unions positively impact the political process in order to benefit workers and their communities in the upcoming elections?"

You can view more information about the MALF Andy Ward Scholarship here on the MALF's website, and you can view and download the scholarship application here.

The essay, cover sheet, and application are due by close of business on June 17th, 2022. Please send them to the MALF Education Committee Chair, AFT Arizona President Ralph Quintana, at rquintana@aftarizona.org.
