The Jerry Clark Memorial Scholarship Program is an ongoing program available to children of AFSCME members. Under the program, one scholarship in the amount of $10,000 will be awarded annually to one student majoring in political science for his/her junior and senior years of study. The chosen student will also be given the opportunity to intern at the International Union headquarters in the Political Action department during the summer between his/her junior and senior year or for one semester during his/her junior or senior year. Once awarded, the scholarship will be renewed for the senior year of study, provided the student remains enrolled in a full-time course of study as a political science major.
