Final Notice! Vito J. Pitta Scholarship Deadline Is April 1

This is the final notice tthat the deadline for submitting applications for this year’s Vito J. Pitta scholarship awards is 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 1, 2015.

The Vito J. Pitta scholarship awards competition is open to children of members of the Hotel Trades Council employed in non-Division A shops, as well as children of Local 6 members who are employed in most private clubs. Children of Hotel Trades Council members employed in Division A shops are NOT eligible for the Vito J. Pitta scholarship awards but have a separate scholarship program with a later deadline (May 15, 2015) for submitting applications.

It is also important to remember that in order to be eligible to participate in the Vito J. Pitta scholarship competition members’ children must be graduating high school seniors who will be attending an accredited four-year college or university in the fall.

Because the deadline for submitting applications is a week away, members and/or their children must act immediately, as there are various factors in the application process that make it virtually impossible to apply for the scholarship in just one or two days. Children who have already received applications but have not yet completed the application process are reminded that they must complete it by no later than Wednesday, April 1. If you have any questions, please call the Scholarship Program at 718-361-5100, extension 3600.

We wish the very best of luck to all students that apply!
