BCGEU Indigenous Scholarship

January 17, 2025 / / 0 Comments
Criteria

Scholarships are funded by the dues of BCGEU members. You are eligible if you are related to a current, retired or deceased BCGEU (BC Government Service and Employees Union) member or staff; and are a  student or prospective post-secondary or higher learning student enrolled, registered or planning to attend an eligible educational institution in 2025.

For the purpose of this scholarship, an Indigenous person (the legal term is Aboriginal person) in Canada, as recognized in the Constitution Act, 1982, is a person who identifies as First Nations (Status/Non-Status), Métis, or Inuit.

Value

multiple @ $2,500 (full-time students) and $1,500 (part-time students)

Due Date

online by midnight Thursday, February 17, 2025.

Procedure

In addition to applying online here, applicants are asked to submit an essay, video, song or infographic in response to one of three questions:

i. Public protests and counter protests are becoming a more common occurrence in British Columbia. Reflect on an experience that has impacted you. How does it align with your values and that of the labour movement?
ii. Indigenous peoples are the keepers of the land and essential to governing climate change. What does “land back” mean to you? How does that align with the values of the labour movement?
iii. The current state of the world poses many challenges. What inspires you towards making a positive change? How can the BCGEU drive that change?
iv. Communication and outreach methods have evolved greatly. What communication and outreach strategies would you employ to effectively engage our diverse membership base? How would your strategies differ for urban versus rural areas and how do they align with the values of the labour movement?

We encourage you to base your answer on an interview with a BCGEU member, personal experience, or original research.
