In the labour movement, we recognize the vital importance of education to a healthy
and prosperous workforce. However, we also know that post-secondary education is out of reach for many middle-class families due to increased tuition costs, the growing privatization of post-secondary
schools, and the fact that wages have not grown to meet the rising cost of tuition.
To help with the high cost of education, our unions, locals, and affiliated organizations
provide a wide range of scholarships for students connected to SGEU. In this directory, you will find post-secondary awards, scholarships, and bursaries valued at over $60,000. Union activists who want to pursue labour studies opportunities have access to funding valued over $20,000.
