As a union, we made a strong commitment to workplace equity, and beyond! By equity, we mean equal opportunities, which means that all Canadians should have access to higher education, regardless of their financial situation.

That’s why the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees is proud to offer scholarships of $2,500 each year, one based on academic achievement and the other based solely on financial need. We sincerely hope that these scholarships will make a real difference in the future of a student.

Four students have won a scholarship:

  • APRIL MARASCO
