Scholoarships

Founded in 2004, the Executive Board of Teamsters Local #118 has been granting the children of active and retired members, scholarship awards.

Whether it is through the James R. Hoffa Scholarship Foundation or through Local events such as our own, helping to prepare our children for the future is one of the greatest gifts our Union can provide. As the next generation of leaders, it will be our children that will continue to grow the Teamsters and further the causes of trade unionism.

Since its inception, the Teamsters Local #118 - Ernie Moyer Scholarship Fund has awarded five $1,000 scholarships to worthy students every year. To be eligible:
