The Western Union Foundation Family Scholarship Program is helping immigrant/migrant fathers and sons, mothers and daughters and brothers and sisters move up the economic ladder through education and training. Scholarships may be used for college/university tuition, language acquisition classes, technical/skills training, and GED classes, with two family members receiving a scholarship to help achieve the type of education they need in order to create a brighter future for their entire family.

Scholarships may be used for tuition for college/university education, language acquisition classes, technical/skill training, and/or GED classes. Scholarships may not be used for advanced degrees (such as Masters, PhD). Scholarships will be made only to accredited higher-education institutions and training/educational providers.
