USW Indigenous Scholarships

We have the education of Indigenous Steelworkers and their families at heart!

The United Steelworkers is pleased to announce a new scholarship beginning in 2021 that will award six scholarships of $1,500 each to qualified Indigenous USW members and their families who are pursuing post-secondary education.
