Over the past two decades, the UFCW Canada Beggs-Dowling-Mathieu Scholarships Program has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships to UFCW Canada members and members of their families.
Allocated by regions across Canada, these scholarships are named as a lasting tribute to three past leaders of our union: William Beggs, Fred Dowling, and Roméo Mathieu.
Each year UFCW Canada offers 18 annual Beggs-Dowling-Mathieu Scholarships of $1,000 each to active members and their family members for post-secondary study. (5 are awarded in Western Canada.)
