After review of the fund’s financial status, the Trustees agreed the UUP Benefit Trust Fund will suspend its Scholarship Program at the conclusion of the Spring 2012 academic semester.
It is our hope that we are able to reinstate the program, should State monies become available in the future.
If you have any questions, please contact the UUP Benefit Trust Fund at 800-887-3863.
