The Minnesota Pipe Trades Scholarship
We draw at least two scholarships in memory of Brother Elmer Walls, each in the amount of 'at least $1000.00' and present them to the dependent of any member in good standing whose local union is affiliated with the Minnesota Pipe Trades Association.
The recipients of these scholarships shall be selected by means of a ‘lottery’ and must have obtained a “C+” (or better) average in their last school year and must attend an accredited Trade School, Junior College, College or University as a full-time student.
Each United Association member in good standing may submit ONE application only. Documentation verifying a C+ or higher average in the applicant’s last school year must be submitted with the Scholarship application form.
All applications must be received in the Minnesota Pipe Trades Association Secretary’s office, 353 W. 7th Street #106, St. Paul, MN 55102, no later July 31, 2025. The winner will be selected in August. All applications must be signed by the Business Manager or Agent verifying application information is true and member submitting application is a member in good standing. The application must bear the United Association seal.
Checks for Scholarships will be issued in two payments and will be made out jointly to the recipient and the school selected for attendance.
