Sheet Metal Workers Local 17 Announces Over $100,000 in Scholarships to MA, RI, NH Students
$1.8 Million Dollars in Life-Changing Scholarships Donated Since Program’s Inception
The scholarship program is 100% funded by the membership of Local 17. Each member gives five cents out of every hour they work to the scholarship fund. The membership of Local 17 has donated more than $1.8 million in scholarships to local students since 1983.
We’re proud to create opportunity for hardworking students and help put them on the path to success. These scholarships are part of Local 17’s commitment to giving back to the communities where our members live and work.
We credit the three generations of the Hayward Family (Bob, Scott, and Sean) for leading the scholarship committee. Whether scholarship recipients plan to enroll in a four year-college, community or technical college, the military, or go into the building trades, we’re thrilled to continue to lift up students as they strive for success.
Scholarships are awarded based on performance on the state Labor History Exam and essay or through a lottery drawing. This year’s scholarships also included three memorial scholarships given in honor of longtime Local 17 members Joseph J. Nigro, Charlie F. Geary, and James M. Kelly.
