CAPS Dependent Scholarships

Each year, CAPS awards $750 scholarships to dependents of 15 CAPS members in support of their college education.  Any CAPS member with a child or other dependent family member in college or bound for college in the Fall may apply!

Qualified applicants must be enrolled in an accredited university or community college (but not a vocational school) for the coming fall semester and complete a CAPS Scholarship Application.

All applications must be submitted by June 1 each year.  The CAPS Member Benefits Committee reviews the applications and selects the scholarship winners. NOTE: Previous applications from 2023 or earlier do not roll over. To be eligible for a 2024 scholarship, all applicants must file a 2024 application.

No family may receive more than one CAPS scholarship per lifetime.

This benefit is available only to dependents of CAPS members.  If you aren’t yet a CAPS member, joining is easy. In less than two minutes, using this secure online form, you can become a member and immediately qualify for the many benefits that go with it, including the Dependent Scholarship program.

SIGN THE CAPS-UAW PHOTO PETITION!

You and your fellow scientists have a chance to speak directly to this administration. Your Bargaining Committee goes back to the table, where our goal is to share the photo petition! 

You can show this administration that you and your colleagues are united in our demand for equitable pay, and a fair contract that ends the gender pay gap for Bargaining Unit 10 by signing this photo petition. It takes about 30 seconds to sign! 

With over 1,500 fellow scientists signing the photo petition already, your participation matters in conveying our message.

Once a majority of state scientists sign, we, the Bargaining Committee, will work with the Contract Action Team (CAT) to present the petition as a photo collage to this administration to demonstrate our collective power. This action is for your salaries and your future. 

Already signed? Get two of your colleagues to sign the petition as well.  

Participation makes us strong, so take action now!
