The Railroad Crafts Scholarship Foundation was established in 1995 in Ft. Worth, Texas. This Foundation provides financial aid to children of active, retired or deceased railroad employees who would be unable to attend college without financial assistance. Eligibility for scholarships is limited to children of railroad employees who are represented by a railway labor organization or were when they left active employment.

While funding for this Scholarship Foundation has come primarily from events held in Ft. Worth, it is the Foundation's desire to expand their efforts to other states. Fund-raising events or contributions to support the Foundation are encouraged. In order to obtain more information, please write to Mr. John Mullen at 611 N. Broadway, Joshua, Texas 76058.

The deadline for scholarship applications for the 2000/2001 school year must be received by April 1, 2000 so anyone interested should contact Mr. Mullen at the above address to request an application form as soon as possible.

Scholarship recipients are selected by the Foundation's Board of Directors at their annual meeting held in May.
