The members of the Auxiliary Scholarship Fund Board met in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, April 13, 2007. Auxiliary members submitted 62 scholarship applications for the 2007-2008 school year. The Board is required by the Internal Revenue Service to “spend” at least five percent of our average annual net worth on the charitable purpose (namely scholarships) annually. In order to meet these requirements, our giving as a private foundation this year only must include past and present requirements. What does this mean? The Board must award twenty-one (21) Auxiliary scholarships in order to meet our IRS obligations. The scholarships were awarded through a random drawing in the presence of UTU Assistant General Counsel Dan Elliott and the board members. The following are the winners of the 2007-2008 Auxiliary scholarships. Winners are listed in the order the application was drawn. Congratulations to the scholarship winners! The Auxiliary of the UTU is proud to be able to help in the education of our Auxiliary family members.
