National Union of Public and General Employees Scholarships

The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) offers a number of scholarships for children or grandchildren of a current or retired member who are entering the first year of their post-secondary education.

Most of our 425,000 members work to deliver public services of every kind to the citizens of their home provinces. We also have a large and growing number of members who work for private businesses.

Our mission as a national union is to:

• monitor provincial and federal labour laws and developments
• analyse restructuring of social programs and public services
• report on and contribute to legislation affecting the workplace
• give our members a national presence through participation in the Canadian Labour Congress and internationally through Public Services International
• develop and share successful bargaining strategies with our component unions
• contribute to a national framework of services and solidarity to benefit all Canadian workers
