UTU: UTU Auxiliary

Auxiliary of the United Transportation Union
Scholarship Fund Winners

The members of the Auxiliary Scholarship Fund Board met in Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, April 17, 2009. Auxiliary members submitted 73 scholarship applications for the 2009-2010 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. The board must award ten (10) Auxiliary scholarships in order to meet our IRS obligations. The scholarships were awarded through a random drawing in the presence of UTU Associate General Counsel Kevin C. Brodar and the board members. The following are the winners of the 2009-2010 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.
