Congratulations to our 2025 Scholarship Winners!

White and yellow square Local 509 logo with subtitle "The Massachusetts Union for Human Service Workers and Educators" centered on purple rectangle.

Each year, our SEIU Local 509 Scholarship Program funds educational scholarship awards for fellow members and their dependents of the Family Child Care, Higher Education, and Private Sector Human Service chapters! 

Scholarships range from $1,000 to $1,500, and the awards are based on member’s demonstrated commitment to the union’s growth over the last calendar year. From this pool of qualified applicants, winners are drawn at random. 

We are pleased to announce 20 winners from our drawing below! If you have any questions about scholarship eligibility, please contact Jenny Bauer at jbauer@seiu509.org.
