In addition to job protection, benefits and wages provided for in Teamster contracts, the International Union provides additional services, offered at discounted costs to the members. Because of the size and strength of the membership, the International is able to negotiate these lower costs for the services.

Teamster Scholarships

Teamsters kids are eligible for scholarships from two sources:

• International Brotherhood of Teamsters Scholarship Fund  – Since 1966 the Union has awarded college scholarships to the dependents of Teamsters through this Fund. It awards ten 4-year scholarships worth $6,000 each, and fifteen additional 1-year scholarships, each worth $1,000.
• James R. Hoffa Scholarship Fund – Created in 2000, the Hoffa Fund is a stand-alone charitable organization able to raise funds from a wide variety of sources, far more than can the Union's in-house scholarship, thus it is in a position to offer grants in keeping pace with tuition inflation. For instance, awards for the 2010-2011 academic year include thirty-one $10,000 and sixty-nine $1,000 scholarship grants.
