AAUP/AFT is proud to announce the availability of the Wells H. Keddie Scholarship in the amount of $3000. The scholarship, to be given each year, is in memory of Wells Keddie, long-time labor activist, member of the AAUP/AFT Executive Council, and retired Professor Emeritus, of the department of Labor Studies and Employment Relations.

The scholarship will be awarded to a student

• who is expected to reach a total of 60-90 credits by June of the semester preceding the fellowship (normally a Junior).
• who is enrolled in any of the Rutgers Undergraduate colleges
• who combines solid scholarship with social activism

Nominations should be made by February 15. The award will be announced and distributed in the Spring.

The application/nomination process consists of the following:

• a letter of nomination by a faculty member, describing the student's involvement in activism, whether on/off-campus, and explaining why the student would be a good choice for this particular award
• a personal statement by the student, regarding both current activism and long-term goals
• a copy of the student's transcript
• a résumé listing the student’s activities and responsibilities
• a letter of recommendation by a second faculty member
