Every year, one student from each class is nominated, by the instructors, for special merit based on their performance in the classroom.

The winner, selected by the teaching staff, from all nominees, will be awarded the "Cecil Romine Scholarship" named for the late APWU National Business Agent who was instrumental in developing this educational opportunity.  The scholarship is awarded at the end of the week in the form of a rebate on tuition, not to exceed the double-occupancy registration fee.  

All students are eligible for this award, regardless of union affiliation.
