Annual Scholarship Awards
Every June, a letter is sent out to the members of Local 837 inviting their children to apply for the current year’s Scholarship Awards. The awards are bestowed (granted) to those who not only achieve academic excellence, but also excel in extracurricular and volunteer commitments. The award recipients must be registered to attend post secondary education, provide enrollment verification, complete an essay from a randomly chosen question compiled by the previous year’s Scholarship committee. All these instructions are contained in the invitation letter mailed out in June.
The students whose applications were selected as a Scholarship Award recipient who are attending college receive a scholarship award in the amount of $3,000.00 and those attending University receive an award in the amount of $4,000.00. The awards are later presented at a Gala Dinner hosted by Local 837 in honour of these worthy students who were selected by the impartial Scholarship Committee.
The scholarship application period is between June 10 - August 2 each year.
Please wait until the next period to submit your scholarship application.
