Teamsters Local 25 proudly awarded 37 scholarships totaling $74,000 to the children and grandchildren of members and retirees — the largest scholarship award announcement in the union’s history.
This year’s scholarships were made possible through the generosity and solidarity of Teamsters Local 25 members. The awards were presented during the union’s May General Membership Meeting in a ceremony featuring remarks from Teamsters Local 25 President Tom Mari.
Among the scholarship recipients is Bryan Fernandez of Reading, a recent graduate of Reading Memorial High School, who will attend the University of Massachusetts Amherst this fall. Bryan is the son of Reeba Baby, a Teamsters Local 25 member employed by Logan International Airport.
“We have the strongest membership in the country and among the most generous when it comes to supporting the children of our members,” said Teamsters Local 25 President Tom Mari. “For these students, the support goes far beyond financial assistance. Our union has always believed in uplifting the next generation. Our message to the 2026 scholarship recipients is simple: your future is bright, and your Teamster family will be with you every step of the way.”
