Scholarships and Bursaries - Updates and Approaching Deadlines
HSA offers and provides access to scholarships and bursaries to all members and their children throughout the year. Please note below the announcement of a new scholarship, a reminder of approaching deadlines, and a reminder of an open call for an HSA scholarship.
*New* CLC/UWCC POST-SECONDARY SCHOLARSHIP
Through HSA's affiliation with the CLC members are eligible to apply for the CLC/UWCC Post-Secondary Scholarship. Young workers today are facing many social and workplace issues. However, many have taken these challenges as an opportunity to create positive change, and impact their communities for the better. This scholarship is offered in recognition of the efforts and commitment of young workers across Canada who have demonstrated commitment to positively impacting social and workplace issues in their community.
This scholarship is in the amount of $2,500 to support a young activist who is starting their first year of full-time post-secondary studies in September 2017.
2017 deadline is August 9, 2017
