Guidelines for Applicants
Applications are due June 15, 2021, by midnight ET.
Applicants must submit a 750-word essay on the following
topic:
What do workers want from their union during bad
times?
The essay should oer an informed opinion that has a
central idea. Specific reasons and examples that support
your viewpoint should be provided. Be sure to answer the
question, stay on point, and define any terms that are used
in your essay.
Applicants must submit a completed application form. The
application form requires a CLAC representative’s signature—
this must be included on your application or it will be
considered incomplete. A representative’s signature verifies
that you (or your family member) are a union member in
good standing.
Applicants must submit a copy of their (or their family
member’s) union membership card with their application.
Members who are involved in the union will receive extra
points. If you claim any union involvement (i.e., steward,
bargaining committee member, on a local board, etc.),
you are required to submit a brief letter from your CLAC
representative with your application. This letter will outline
the extent of your (or your family member’s) involvement
(role, length of service, etc.).
Applicants must provide proof of enrolment in a
postsecondary institution with their application. (For more
information, see the FAQs at clac.ca/scholarships.)
Incomplete applications will not be considered submitted
until all documents have been received.
