Admission
Acceptance to the program will be limited based on space, experience, and qualifications. Because of the combination of limited space and high demand for the course, we urge students to send in their application forms as soon as possible. The closing date for applications will be May 1, 2009, and acceptance letters will be sent out on May 11, 2009. All students interested in attending the program must complete the attached application form and submit a two- to three-page single-spaced essay explaining why they are interested in attending the program and what they plan to do upon completion of their degree.
Scholarships
The AFL-CIO will provide a limited number of additional needs-based scholarships to further reduce the cost of tuition for students taking the course for credit. To apply for a scholarship, please attach an additional one-page essay outlining your reasons for requesting this scholarship. Please note that the scholarships only apply to those students interested in taking the course for credit, and will only cover a portion of the credit tuition cost. Union employees and students who are funded by their employer are not eligible.
