PSAC Scholarship Program guidelines
Applicants must submit an original 750- to 850-word essay or another original creative submission, such as video, infographic, song, or other format, that responds to this year’s scholarship questions. Creative submissions should be no longer than five minutes.
This year’s questions ask applicants to reflect on:
- How major shifts such as political polarization, austerity, job loss, return-to-office mandates, and artificial intelligence have affected their lives, communities, or sense of security
- For PSAC members: how these changes have affected their local’s ability to support members and build solidarity
- How tools like AI can be used to strengthen connection, trust, and a more humane future of work
All submissions must be original. Applicants must cite any sources they use, and any AI assistance must be properly acknowledged.
Applicants must either be a PSAC member in good standing or the dependent child of a PSAC member in good standing as of March 31, 2026.
