Greetings,
At
the Union of National Employees, we know that education is a key ingredient of
personal growth. We also recognize that there are countless barriers to
continuing education. That’s partly why we award three bursaries each year – to
make it a little bit easier for our members and their family to access quality
education.
For
our members, union education ensures that the work we do on behalf of our
brothers and sisters is of the highest quality.
Laurier Auger
Bursary
Brother
Laurier Auger was a former member of the Union of National Employees. He served
on the National Executive from June 1972 to April 1974. His life was cut short
by a car accident in April 1974. In his honour, the Union of National Employees
offers a bursary to its members and their families to assist them in the pursuit
of their studies.

– who is entering the first year of post-secondary education. The application
for this bursary must be received by June
