About Harriet Bouslog Labor Scholarship Fund

The Harriet Bouslog Labor Scholarship Fund is a private scholarship foundation established to help ILWU Local 142 members and their families access higher education within the University of Hawaiʻi system. Awards prioritize children and grandchildren of active and retired members and give additional preference to high school seniors. Founded from the legacy of labor attorney Harriet Bouslog (established 1989), the fund is administered by a volunteer board and works in partnership with the University of Hawaiʻi Foundation for application processing. In recent years the foundation has routinely awarded up to ten scholarships each year, maintained multiyear charitable disbursements in the low six figures, and reported net assets above $3 million, enabling sustained scholarship awards and program continuity.
