Post-Secondary Education Scholarships
CUPE policy supports a truly public post-secondary education system - one with no economic barriers to education. Until that happens, some CUPE locals have set up scholarship/bursary programs for members and their children to help them attend a college or university. You will have to check with your steward or local executive to find out if your local offers any scholarships.
CUPE BC offers scholarships to CUPE members or their children planning on entering post-secondary education are encouraged to apply for this annual scholarship. The Aubrey Burton/Reg Ford Memorial Scholarships are available every year. You can find the application form here.
