These scholarships are disbursed to the college, university or technical school of the recipient s choice at the beginning of the recipient s freshman year. A recipient may not apply if she or he is attending a tuition-free institution or attending an institution tuition-free. Eligibility requirements and application procedures are the same for all 11 awards. The Teamsters Local 1150 Core Scholarship Committee will confirm applications are complete and applicants are eligible. An impartial, independent educator will review all potential recipient applications and select the 11 recipients.
