The George Meany Vision
With the National Labor College (NLC) at the George Meany Campus in Silver Spring, MD, American's unions have their own college: a national center that provides continuous labor education for all union activists.
Each year a total of $25,000 is awarded to eligible students through the new Union Plus National Labor College Scholarship. Awards are determined and administered by the National Labor College; they typically award roughly 12 recipients with financial need every quarter, including January, April, July and October.
The scholarship program is sponsored by the Union Plus Education Foundation and administered by the National Labor College. The Foundation's donation to The National Labor College represents the largest financial aid contribution to the college.
Union skills courses
Each academic year, NLC offers week-long labor education classes in areas such as arbitration, organizing, negotiations, safety & health, union building and leadership development. Specialized certificates are available.
Undergraduate and graduate programs
NLC offers a Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in areas of labor studies and a Bachelor of Technical/Professional Studies degree. Masters degree programs in Public Administration and Legal and Ethical Studies are delivered by the University of Baltimore at the NLC George Meany campus.
