Scholarship Opportunities & Free College Benefit

SCHOLARSHIPS

Got a High School senior at home? Here are four great opportunities for scholarship money that are open to children of SHARE members and, in some cases, grandchildren. Check each one for different criteria, deadlines, and award amounts.  

Please note that the full name for our union at UMass Memorial Hospital is AFSCME/SHARE Local 3900.

FREE COLLEGE BENEFIT

Our parent union AFSCME offers a Free College Benefit, making it possible for all SHARE members, their families, and other members of their households to earn a free associates degree online from Eastern Gateway Community College.

Students who have already earned their Associates Degree can apply for a free online Bachelor’s Degree completion programs in Teacher Education, Business Administration, or Criminal Justice through Central State University. Additional programs are under consideration.
