Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command Bursary Program

The Bursary Program is designed to assist students who are entering or continuing their post-secondary education, including courses and training programs of a technical and vocational nature, and pursue the same course throughout their academic years. Approved bursary assistance is not based upon scholastic standing but rather on the successful admission status to a post-secondary institution or successful completion of one or more years leading to a recognized degree, diploma or certificate. The program is funded through the Ontario Command Branches and Ladies' Auxiliaries Charitable Foundation, with Ontario Command branches and their Auxiliaries raising funds through Poppy Tagging and other activities such as Bingo, Break Open Tickets, Banquets and Clubhouse Operations. The application period opens in September when students are physically on campus, with applications accepted until the last Friday of March. Students currently attending high school cannot apply until they are physically on campus in the fall.
