Josie Gould Memorial Scholarship

Sister Josie Gould was one of the original members of the Union of Northern Workers.  Her untiring efforts had profound effects on union members who knew her over the years.  

Because of her staunch commitment to the UNW, and because of her devotion to helping youth, the Josie Gould Scholarship was created upon her retirement.  

After her death in 2008, the scholarship was renamed the "Josie Gould Memorial Scholarship."  

Today, in her name, scholarships are awarded annually to ten students who understand the importance of the Labour Movement and who have been accepted for full time post-secondary study.

Since the first Josie Gould Scholarships were awarded in 2002, the UNW has awarded over $400,000 in scholarships.

The application period for the 2025 scholarship has closed for 2025.

Any applications received late will not be considered; applicants can re‐apply the next year. Confirmation of applications received by UNW will be emailed to the applicant. Please retain confirmation.
