UCTE Post-Secondary Scholarship

Open to the children and grandchildren, including dependent children and grandchildren, of UCTE members in good standing, retired members and deceased members, and to the children and dependent children of UCTE national office staff. You must be finishing high school and entering your first year of university, college or another institute of higher learning full-time, with a standing of 70% or higher in the subjects required for entrance. Preference is given to those members who are activists in their local or region.

Apply with UCTE's online application form, or print the application form and mail it to the UCTE Honours & Awards Committee, 233 Gilmour Street, Suite 702, Ottawa, Ontario K2P 0P2.
