BDM Scholarships for Fall 2013

Toronto – June 24, 2013 – Skyrocketing student tuition fees have led students taking on record levels of student debt far higher than what previous generations were expected to assume. Ontario is just one example, where undergraduate tuition in Ontario is more than eight times higher than what average tuition fees were in 1980.

Every year, to assist members and their family members to acheive their educational goals, UFCW Canada offers 18 Beggs – Dowling – Mathieu (BDM) Scholarships of $1,000 each to members and their children for post-secondary study. If you are a UFCW Canada member, you, your spouse and children are eligible to apply if you are attending full-time studies at a Canadian university, college, or other recognized post-secondary institution.

So if you are planning to attend college or university this coming Fall 2013, make sure applying for a BDM Scholarship is on your "To Do" list for your chance to win a $1,000 scholarship.

Applying for the Beggs - Dowling - Mathieu Scholarships is easy. You don’t have to be an A+ student. All it requires is a passion for learning, enrolment at a post-secondary institution, and just a few minutes to complete the online application.

The deadline for applying for the BDM Scholarships is September 30.
