Winners of 2008 McCusker Scholarships Gathered at Our Local Hall to Accept their Awards

McCusker Awards Night 2008 was a great success in our continuing tradition of investing in the future of Connecticut’s working families. Thanks to the generosity of individual members and Councils and Chapters, we were able to award 52 scholarships of $1,000.00 each to 52 of our members' children and grandchildren for their college educations.


Our Bernard H. McCusker Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund was established in 1961 as a tribute, obligation, and memorial to our union’s founder and first Executive Director, who died unexpectedly while serving the organization. The fund had two specific purposes:

 To provide for the formal education of "Mac’s" daughter, Ann; and

 To provide scholarships to the children of union members.
