Lee G. Ashcraft Memorial/Washington, DC Building and Construction Trades Scholarship 2012

Lee C. Ashcraft always valued his connection to the Washington, DC Building & Construction Trades. He was particularly supportive of this Scholarship Program that was established by the firm more than a quarter of a century ago. We are pleased to honor him by continuing this Scholarship Program in his memory.

The law firm of Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP offers this Scholarship to the Washington , D.C. Building & Construction Trades union members and their families to help with the high cost of education. Each year we award a one-time grant of $5,000.00 to an eligible student for education expenses.

If you, your spouse or child, plan to pursue education or training full time, you can apply now. Applicants must be enrolled for their post-high school education or training by Fall of 2012 to be eligible for this year’s award.

A committee of union volunteers screen the applications and a finalist is chosen by an independent party. No one at ASHCRAFT & GEREL, LLP participates in the selection process. This is an equal opportunity program, conducted without regard to race, gender, religion, age or disability.
