VSEA still has not received a list from the Scott Administration or DHR that clearly shows there is a substitute for each of the 170 prescription drugs included on a list provided last week to VSEA of soon-to-be banned prescription drugs. This is creating a lot of employee anxiety, confusion and anger across state government, and VSEA truly hopes an A to B list will be delivered very soon. After all, the DHR Commissioner is already on record, saying no one will see their drug(s) cut, so you have to figure she has something tangible to base that claim on, right?
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, 2018, will be reviewed by Committee members, who will then decide from among all this year’s eligible candidates who is awarded a 2018 VSEA scholarship.
Winners will be announced at the VSEA Council’s June 2018 meeting.
