For more than a decade, the Union Plus Scholarship Program has been helping students from working families achieve their educational goals.

Jan. 31 is the deadline to apply for an award in 2005.

To apply, you must be accepted into an accredited college or university, community college or recognized technical or trade school at the time the award is issued. Graduate students are not eligible.
