AT&T Scholarship Programs

 To: All Local Presidents representing Legacy T/AT&T Employees:

 The application period for the year 2007 CWA/IBEW/AT&T Academic Awards Program is now open. This is an excellent bargained-for benefit that provides for 28 scholarships of up to $6,500.00 annually, renewable three times. High School seniors must have a minimum of a 3.25 GPA on a 4.0 scale and have participated in community or school volunteer activities.

 

New this year, our represented employees may also apply to the AT&T Scholarship Foundation Program. This program provides 630 scholarships to the children and stepchildren of eligible employees.

 

 Attached is a letter from AT&T explaining both the CWA/AT&T Academic Awards Program and the AT&T Scholarship Foundation Program.

 

Applications will only be accepted online this year, with the links for each in the attached letter.

 

The application timeframe this year has been changed to accommodate the Scholarship Foundation Program. The new timeframe runs from November 1, 2006 until February 15, 2006.
