Happy International Workers’ Day!
Photo is from 2015 May 1 march through Montpelier. VSEA members and retirees were marching to defeat ill-advised budget proposals that threatened state services and jobs (again, sadly). The mobilization helped to change the debate at the State House and, when the dust settled, a majority of the proposals were not adopted.
The fight continues.
Solidarity!!
VSEA Scholarship Application Deadline Is May 8!
Each spring, the VSEA Awards & Scholarship Committee solicits scholarship applications from VSEA members and their spouses, dependents and domestic partners. The application process is easy, requiring the applicant to write a couple of short essays as well as provide a grade history, employment history, personal references and a few other things.
All applications received before May 8, 2019, will be reviewed by Committee members, who will then decide from among all this year’s eligible candidates who is awarded a 2019 VSEA scholarship.
Winners will be announced at the VSEA Council’s June 2019 meeting.
