FEEA administers a number of scholarship programs for various federal employee unions,
employee organizations and others.  Many of these programs allow applicants to apply for multiple
scholarships with just one application.  To find out if you might be eligible to apply for one of these
special scholarships, check the list below for basic eligibility criteria, as well as links to the
organizations sponsoring the scholarships and, when available, special applications.

In most cases, the sponsoring employee MUST be either a member of the organization sponsoring
the scholarship, or an employee in a particular region or agency in order to be eligible for the
special scholarship.  Funds for these scholarships are raised by the agencies/organizations
themselves, or are provided by endowments managed by FEEA.
