UFCW Local 401 Scholarships
Who can apply: UFCW Local 401 (Alberta) members or their dependents entering post-secondary
Amount and deadline
Checked against the provider's page in Oct 2026.
Worth knowing
The two funds are sized differently: the McWilliams pool is $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, not a calendar. Separately, UFCW Canada runs the national Begg's-Dowling-Mathieu award, eighteen at $1,000, which Local 401 members can also enter. Eligible applicants include members and their spouses, children and grandchildren; the sponsoring member needs at least six months of seniority.
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.
