PSAC 2007 Scholarship Program

The 2007 Award Winners

We would like to congratulate all the recipients of the 2007 PSAC scholarship. Of the fifteen scholarships awarded, three were given away in the Atlantic Region to Danick Ouelette, Danielle Flynn, and Rebeka Frazer-Chiasson.  

The PSAC offers 15 scholarships valued at $30,000 to the children and dependants of PSAC members. As well, three out of seven $1,000 PSAC Regional Scholarships were made available to members who are returning to a university, college or a recognized institute of higher learning on a full-time basis.

PSAC scholarships are awarded primarily on the basis of an 800-word essay, scholastic achievement, community and union involvement. Information on the PSAC 2008 scholarship program will be posted later: http://psac.com/what/benefits/scholarships-e.shtml

This year, the topic of essay was:

You work in a small non-unionized workplace of 100 employees. You would like to help unionize it. How would you go about it? Be sure to include how you would build support for this initiative among your co-workers.
