Question 1

What is the W. Vernie Reed Scholarship Fund

Accepted Answer

In 1981 the W. Vernie Reed Scholarship Fund was established as a living memorial to the late W. Vernie Reed, General Secretary-Treasurer of the Laborers’ International Union of North America, who represented our Northwest Region. Since that time, the scholarship fund has awarded over 550 scholarships, totaling over $1,200,000 million dollars, to our members, their children and grandchildren from various Local Unions throughout the Region. We should all take great pride that we have established such a fund in memory of one of 
 
LIUNA's past leaders, who fought so hard for every LIUNA member, Local Union and District Council. 
Through the generosity of Brother Reed’s friends and associates, a self perpetuating fund will provide a program of yearly scholarships to assist eligible worthy students in furthering their four (4) year undergraduate education. The first award was made in the Spring of 1981. Scholarships are usually awarded before July.
 
For 2025:
The Board of Directors is pleased to announce it will be awarding the following scholarships:
 •  One $10,000 scholarship, Pamela Reed winner
 • One $8,500 Chuck Barnes winner
 •  Twenty-two (22) $5,500 Local Union scholarships
 •  Six (6) $5.500 scholarships for the District Councils and Western Canada Subregional Office
 •  Up to ten (10) $4,500, At-Large scholarships
