Local 1000A is pleased to congratulate the recipients of its 2013-2014 scholarships. Forty-two scholarships, worth $500 each, were awarded this year to members or children of members enrolled in post-secondary education based on a essay contest or creative submission.
Since the inception of the scholarship program in 2003, Local 1000A has helped hundreds of students and their families in the face of escalating undergraduate fees.
The increase has been drastic. In the 2003-2004 school year, Ontario students paid an average of $4,923 in undergraduate fees. In the 2012-2013 school year, students paid an average of $7,180—a jump of 46 per cent.
Local 1000A received many great submissions and we thank everyone who applied. For those who did not receive a scholarship this time, we strongly encourage you to apply again next year.
Congratulations and Best of Luck to Our Scholarship Winners!
