The Confederation of Canadian Unions provides annual bursaries of $1,000 for dependent children of members of unions belonging to the CCU/CSC for the purpose of furthering their post-secondary education.

The draw to select the winners will take place on Friday, October 23, 2026. The successful applicants will then be notified by email shortly after and asked to provide the following: Proof of post-secondary enrolment (an official transcript, or a confirmation of enrolment letter issued by the Registrar), and a 500-1000 word essay on the topic “What Does Unionism Mean to Me?”

Applicants eligible for the $1,000 bursaries are those who are ‘attending a post secondary school’ and MUST be ‘dependent children’ of members of unions belonging to ‘affiliates’ of the CCU/CSC.

The award will be paid out shortly after the requested information has been received. ONLY the successful applicants are required to submit the documentation listed above. Do not submit an essay with the application. If not received on or before the posted deadline, alternate recipients will be selected.

By signing this application, I agree to have my essay and/or photo published and shared by the CCU-CSC.
