Katelyn Gowlett wins 2014 UFCW International Scholarship

UFCW 1288P family member wins 2014 UFCW International ScholarshipSaint John, N.B. – October 18, 2014 – Katelyn Gowlett from Bayswater, New Brunswick has won the UFCW’s esteemed international scholarship – totalling $8,000. Katelyn is the daughter of Randy Gowlett, a member of UFCW Canada Local 1288P at Pepsi in Saint John, New Brunswick. The UFCW International Scholarship is awarded annually to eight UFCW members or their dependents across North America, including one chosen from Canada’s leading union for private sector workers.

The union scholarship covers $8,000 in tuition fees over a period of four years. As part of the application process, Katelyn wrote a 500-word essay describing the positive role of unions in her community.

Katelyn graduated with honours from Harbour View High School and is also the recipient of a $500 Clubs Scholarship from the Rotary Club of Saint John. Katelyn’s vice principal at Harbour View describes her as a “caring and socially conscious young woman who has the ability to accomplish all that she sets out to do for herself and others”.

Katelyn is enrolled full-time in her first year of the Bachelor of Nursing program at the University of New Brunswick Saint John. With respect to career plans, she is aiming to graduate and enter medical school.

Every year, the UFCW International Union offers scholarships to union members and their immediate family who want to further their education and who demonstrate a commitment to their communities.
