Each year the Family Scholarship Program of DC 37's parent union, AFSCME, provides ten $2,000 scholarships to high school seniors. The awards may be used for any field of study and will be renewed for $2,000 each year for up to four years if the student stays in a full-time course of study.

To be eligible, a student must:

• be a graduating high school senior;
• be a daughter, son or financially dependent grandchild of an active or retired, full dues-paying AFSCME member;
• be an applicant to an accredited college or university and sub-sequently accepted as a full-time student in a four year degree program.
