PEF’s Joseph Scacalossi Scholarship has helped students since 1988, when it was founded as a tribute to a state Department of Labor member who helped form PEF and fought for the rights of his members in Manhattan.
Every year, 10 students are each awarded $1,000 annually for four years. Read about the 2025 recipients, online.
The student must be a child, stepchild, or ward of an active, retired, or deceased PEF member. The scholarship is open to high school seniors and college freshmen. The 2026 application is now available.
The Jean DeBow Women in PEF Scholarship was created to honor the memory of our former Vice-President, Jean DeBow. There will be one scholarship award of $1,000, given annually at the PEF Convention, for an Active Female PEF Member, who is pursuing an accredited post-secondary education in any field.
Application details and instructions are available online.
