Scholarships
UUP College Scholarship Fund Undergraduate Award
The UUP College Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to a maximum of four SUNY undergraduates who excel academically and are dedicated to the goals and ideals of the labor movement. Applicants must be full-time students enrolled at SUNY state-operated schools and have a minimum grade point average of 3.75.
Steve Street Award
The Steve Street Award is a one-time $500 scholarship open to undergraduate students enrolled at a SUNY campus. To qualify for the award, students—either a single student or a group of students— must have created a paper or documented any project related to social justice issues or topics. This scholarship is available to full-time and part-time students. The award is named for Street, a beloved UUP contingent faculty member who taught at SUNY Brockport and SUNY Buffalo State University; he died of cancer in 2012. He was the 2010 recipient of UUP’s Fayez Samuel Award for Courageous Service by Part-Time Academic and Professional Faculty. The scholarship is funded by contributions from UUP members and their families.
