The Ladies' Auxiliary, Alberta N.W.T. Command, The Royal Canadian Legion is offering a number of Bursary awards for 2008 in the amount of $500 each.
The Bursary Fund provides bursaries in the amount of $500 for each Bursary awarded and funded with donations from all of the Auxiliaries in our Command.
The total amount of funds determines the number of Bursaries that we may give to students in September of each year.
The basis for these Bursaries is firstly on need. The bursaries are open to students entering post-secondary education in the first year following graduation or they may apply in the year following. These awards are for ALBERTA and N.W.T. STUDENTS entering their FIRST TERM of a certificate or diploma program in a University, School of Technology and Art, Nursing Program, or any recognized College in Alberta.
The awards are intended to assist children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and great nieces & nephews of ex-service personnel, as well as children & grandchildren of current serving personnel, R.C.M.P., firefighters, volunteer firefighters and reserve personnel, to advance their education. They are not for mature students - i.e. students over 20 years of age.
