SCFL Scholarship
2024-25 School Year
Members and children of members who belong to any of our affiliated unions, live or work in one of our eleven counties, have not yet received a post-secondary degree, and have not previously been awarded a SCFL scholarship are eligible to apply. Application deadline is June 21, 2024.
The South Central of Federation (SCFL) AFL-CIO is raising money for organizing efforts throughout Dane County and the surrounding area. The amount of new unionization efforts our office has received in the past few years is unprecedented. In the last year alone, it has tripled. For the vast majority of these campaigns, workers are not with a union right away. Until the workers choose a union, SCFL works with them for months, sometimes up to a year. Because of our assistance, workers are better prepared when they do end up with a union. To continue our success, SCFL needs funding to assist in the very critical, initial stages for workers to organize into a union.
