Purpose of this Award

The Employee's Financial Aid Fund was created to assist CUPE 2626 members with the payment of tuition, UHIP fees and dependent care costs in cases of demonstrated financial need. The value of individual bursaries will depend on the level of the financial assistance required and on the availability of funds. We reserve the right to limit the number of the awards.

How do I find my employee number? 

Your employee number starts with 100, and it can be found in the last line of your accepted contract email, below the “Contract Total.” You can also find your employee number at the top of your pay stub, right next to your name.
