Norman G Swenson Scholarship Fund 2023

Please Donate in 2023

Every year of your career, new students would come to your college. They had different needs and challenges. You listened and assisted them. You helped them reach their goals and follow their dreams. You were committed to their success.

In our retirement, the Norman G Swenson (NGS) Scholarship Program continues our efforts to help new students with their hopes and goals that still sound familiar:

“I am the first in my family to graduate from college and this award would be an amazing first step.”

“We are all unique in our own way, but when people choose to help each other out, it shows how beautiful our society can be.”

“I believe that people can rise above life’s hardships by seeking a better quality of life through their Community College.”

“[This Scholarship] would be a huge motivator to continue to work hard in school, work, and all areas of my life.”

“It is my dream to care for patients and their families in a Chicago-area hospital.”

“Due to family commitments, paying for school is always difficult.”

“At age 54, I was working a hum-drum job. Through college, I learned new knowledge and skills which changed my thinking and actions resulting in new life-fulfilling opportunities.”

“[I] look forward to the day when I can be the person who can inspire students to learn and grow.”

Continue your commitment to students from the Community Colleges by donating to the NGS Scholarship Fund in 2023. Every year, Local 1600 selects and awards scholarships to 14 students, one from each college represented by CCCTU. The Scholarship Award is based on donations from our members. Please be generous!
