2007-08 Raoul Teilhet Scholarships
In 1997, the CFT established the annual Raoul Teilhet
Scholarship fund, in order to help the children of members to
achieve their higher education goals. The fund was named after
long-time CFT leader Raoul Teilhet (with bullhorn, above, c. 1972),
who served the organization as president from 1968-1985. The fund awards scholarships in amounts
ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.
At our 2003 convention, delegates voted to extend
eligibility for the scholarship fund to continuing college students
who are children of CFT members, and to children of deceased CFT
members. Scholarships may be awarded for any one year of higher
education; those who received scholarships as high school seniors
are not eligible for another scholarship.
Below are PDF versions of the two scholarship application
forms: one for high school seniors, and the other for continuing
college students. High school seniors must submit applications
by January 10, 2008, and college students by July 1.
You may also download a Raoul Teilhet Scholarship
flyer to pass out to members without web access, informing them
how to get the application forms; and another flyer with information
on all labor scholarships available to CFT members, including
those from AFT, the California Labor Federation, and the AFL-CIO.
