The Royal
Canadian Legion is committed to supporting Veterans and
their families and offers financial assistance for post-secondary
education to those in need.
As part of the
Legion’s commitment to Veterans and their families,
Legion Branches may grant bursaries through the Poppy Trust Fund
to the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Veterans
who may need financial assistance to pursue a post-secondary education.
These bursaries can make a difference for Veterans’ families and
offers
our youth an opportunity to further their educational goals.
Bursaries may be granted at any stage of a college or university
program.
The Legion
does not have a national-level bursary program.
Local Branches and Provincial Commands develop
their eligibility requirements, deadlines and application
procedures.
Contact the local Legion Branch in your
area for further information and assistance.
As part of the
Legion’s commitment to youth, many Branches award Scholarships
through their General Funds to recognize scholastic achievement and
support
youth in their community.
Criteria for these funds are established by the Branch or Provincial
Command.
For information on bursaries and
scholarships available in your province or community,
please contact the
Legion Branch
nearest you.
