TO ALL COVERED MEMBERS:

This letter describes the Scholarship Benefits provided by Local 45 and the requirements for participation.  This program is another way for us to express our abiding interest in the local member and his family by making the awards and benefits of higher education available to deserving young people.

The scholarship award will be made for the academic year beginning September 1, 2020.  Applications for this award must be RECIEVED in hand to Local 45, 214-38 Hillside Avenue, Queens Village, NY 11427 PRIOR to JANUARY 31, 2021.  An application is attached to this brochure for your convenience.

All phases of the scholarship competition, including selection of winners and determination of the amount of scholarship awards, are handled by the Scholarship and Recognition Program, which is a Program Service of the College Board.

THE AWARDS:

Two scholarships will be awarded.  The awards will be $3,000.00 for each year of a four-year academic program, or until the student receives a bachelor’s degree, whichever is first.

All awards will be sent directly to the college at which award winners are enrolled, and credited to the student’s account for payment of authorized college expense (tuition, room and board for college-operated accommodations, and all documented matriculation and other usual and similar fees).

Disbursement of stipend will be made in accordance with the scholarship policy of the institution concerned.

The winners of the Charles Johnson Scholarships will not be eligible for the Local 45 award.

STUDENT ELIGIBILITY:

To qualify, the applicant must be an unmarried dependent child of an eligible employee or pensioner covered by the Plan, living or deceased.  The child of a pensioner or deceased employee will be considered eligible if the pensioner or deceased employee had met the requirements for an active employee at the time he died or retired, and the child was at least 12 years of age when the pensioner retired or the employee died.

Applicants will be considered eligible without regard to age provided they are unmarried and:

1. entering college as freshmen without prior college credit, or
2. entering college with prior college credit earned while completing the senior year of high school in either an Early Admissions or Advanced Placement Program, or
3. a mid-year graduate who entered college prior to the academic year beginning in September when a scholarship would first be payable and who earned one-half year of college credit.

MEMBER ELIGIBILITY:

Students will be considered eligible as candidates for a scholarship award provided one of their parents is and has been a Local Member in good standing within the prior 12 months without any interruption of Local Union Membership. 

Active Employee as defined in either (a)(i) or (a)(ii), as follows:

          (a)(i)  Active Employee – An active employee is one who:

1. worked in covered scholarship employment for at least 4,000 hours in the 5 calendar years ending the December 31 prior to the September for which the scholarship is to be first awarded; and

2. worked in covered scholarship employment for at least 600 hours in each of at least 4 of those 5 calendar years;

“Covered Scholarship Employment” is employment with an Employer for which the Employer is obligated to contribute to the Welfare Fund for the scholarship benefit.

Credit for work in covered scholarship employment will be given for each day for which an employee receives weekly non-occupational disability benefits form the New York District Council of Carpenters Welfare Fund, or Workers Compensation benefits.  The daily number of hours credit allowed will depend upon the employee’s regular workday, excluding overtime, immediately preceding disability.

A deceased employee’s child will be considered an eligible candidate for a scholarship award if the deceased employee had met the able active employee requirements at the time he died, and was a member in good standing, and if the child was at least 12 years of age at the time the employee died.

The child of a Regular, Early Retirement or Disability pensioner under the New York District Council of Carpenters Pension Fund will likewise be eligible if the pensioner had met the above active employee requirements at the time of his retirement, and is a Local Member in good standing, and if the child was at least 12 years of age at the time of retirement.
