We are proud to congratulate the winners of Local 1000A’s 2010-2011 scholarships. Forty-two scholarships, worth $500 each, were awarded this year to members or children of members enrolled in post-secondary education. Candidates submitted a 500-word essay on the following topics: encouraging youth involvement in unions, Wal-Mart’s treatment of employees, or mobilizing young workers to organize unions in their workplaces.
Each year, 42 scholarships of $500 each are made available to ease the burden of increasingly costly postsecondary education. All Local 1000A members and their dependents are eligible for the scholarships. Successful recipients will receive $500 towards the cost of full-time undergraduate studies at a Canadian university, college or other postsecondary educational institution.
The 2010 successful recipients will be contacted by their full-time staff representatives to deliver the cheques and take a photograph, for Connections magazine.
