Worth knowing
The two funds are sized differently, so the McWilliams pool is the larger of the pair: $30,000 a year against $25,000. Six months of seniority is required as of the closing date. The union says only that there is a yearly deadline and does not publish the date, so watch the page rather than a calendar. Separately, UFCW Canada runs the national Beggs-Dowling-Mathieu award, eighteen at $1,000, which Local 401 members can also enter. Corrected against gounion.ca on 2026-09-09: this listing had said $2,500 to each of two recipients and a September 30 close, and the union's page supports neither.
About this scholarship
UFCW Local 401 runs two scholarships for members and their immediate families, the Robert McWilliams Memorial Scholarship and the Grant Notley Memorial Scholarship. Both pay $500 to $2,000 and both are applied for through gounion.ca. Your parent, guardian or spouse must be a Local 401 member in Alberta.
