NUPGE Tommy Douglas Scholarship

National

Who can apply: Children, grandchildren and foster children of NUPGE union members entering first year

Amount and deadline

AWARD VALUE
$1,500
DEADLINE July 15, 2027

Checked against the provider's page in Sep 2026.

Apply

Who can apply

Children, grandchildren and foster children of NUPGE union members entering first year

Worth knowing

Worth checking whether a parent or grandparent is in AUPE, because AUPE is a NUPGE component and that makes you eligible for a national award almost nobody in Alberta applies for. Foster children of members count too, which is unusual and worth knowing. It is decided on a 750 to 1,000 word essay about how Tommy Douglas made Canada a more just and equitable society, so it rewards writing rather than marks. You have to be entering the first year of a Canadian public post-secondary institution full time.

About this scholarship

One of about five $1,500 scholarships the National Union of Public and General Employees awards each year to the children, grandchildren and foster children of its members, decided by essay.
