United Personnel is proud to uphold this mission and support the educational pursuits of the field staff working on assignment. This scholarship offers the recipient $500 towards college expenses, tuition or loan repayment.

Annually, United Personnel awards this scholarship to a field staff member or their dependent who has worked at least 160 hours in the past five years, is currently enrolled or is a recent graduate of an accredited college.
