Announcing the Winners of the 2024 Robert McWilliams Memorial Scholarship!

Named in memory of long-time labour activist and Union Representative Robert McWilliams — who was especially known for fighting on behalf of Superstore employees and their rights as the company was entering the Alberta market — the Robert McWilliams Memorial Scholarship is available to members of UFCW Local 401 and their families.

This scholarship celebrates the power of unions and their pivotal role in the battle for progress, and it supports the next generation of union leadership.

It’s our pleasure to announce this year’s scholarship winners!

Dharmendran Manoharan is a Master’s student studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Calgary.

Chetna Grewal is in her second year of studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of Alberta.
