Grade 12 graduates descended from eligible veterans
ABOUT THIS SCHOLARSHIP
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 271 in St. Albert offers bursaries to students who have completed grade 12 and who are the children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren of any of the persons identified under section 401 of the Poppy Manual. Descent is the whole eligibility test, and it reaches three generations back, so a great-grandparent's service can qualify a student who has never thought to ask about it.
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 271 handles this directly rather than through a school, so contact the branch. Eligibility runs through section 401 of the Poppy Manual, which is the document that defines who counts, so ask them to check your family's service rather than guessing.
HOW TO APPLY
1 Talk to your school guidance counsellor about this award.
2 Ask about internal school deadlines, which can be earlier than the listed one.
3 Submit your application through your school.
