Each year, the MGEU awards eight $1,000 bursaries (one for each of the union’s eight geographic areas) to qualifying members, spouses or children of members. The union also awards The Joseph Grenier Bursary to a spouse, child or member of the Health Care Support Services component.
Applicants must be a post-secondary student and must write an essay about the labour movement in Canada, public sector unions in the Canadian labour movement, or women’s involvement in the labour movement.
This year, the education committee and the Health Care Support Services Component evaluated a number of worthy applications, but there could only be nine recipients. Here are the winners:
Area 1: Nadine Erickson
Area 2: Kimberly MacCarthy
Area 3: Jayden Lamb
Area 4: Daniel Vermeulen
Area 5: Jennilee Sveistrup
Area 6: Helen Paul
Area 7: Amado Claros
Area 8: Stephan Mudrak
Joseph Grenier Bursary: Tamara Jordonov
Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients and thank you to everyone who submitted an application.
