Local 1000A is pleased to congratulate the recipients of its 2014 scholarships. Forty-two scholarships, worth $700 each (up from $500 in celebration of our 70th anniversary), were awarded 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 2014-2015 school year, students paid an average of $7,539 —a jump of 53 per cent in just over 10 years.
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 — this year we have 42, $500 scholarships up for grabs — Download the Application.
Congratulations To Our Winners!
