The Western Union Foundation is now accepting online applications for the Family Scholarship Program, managed by IIE's Professional Exchange and Community Outreach (PECO) department. The Family Scholarship Program provides two members of an immigrant family, currently living in the United States, with a scholarship to support their education. Scholarships may be used for college tuition, language acquisition classes, technical training and GED classes. 

Two family members must submit one application jointly for the program, and they can request up to $5,000 in scholarship funds per family. The Family Scholarship Program is helping immigrant/migrant fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and brothers and sisters move up the economic development ladder through education. 

Applications will be accepted online through June 23, 2013. For additional information visit the program website: www.iie.org/en/Programs/Western-Union-Foundation-Family-Scholarship or email wufoundation@iie.org.
