The Union Scholars program, funded by UNCF and Harvard University, offers students a 10-week field placement in a union organizing campaign, a $4000 stipend and summer housing, as well as an academic scholarship of $5000 for the 2010-2011 year. The application is due February 28th, 2010. More information can be found at the Union Scholars website. The Union Scholars Program is open to any student of color in their second or third year.
