Scholarship Program

This program’s aim is to recognize the sacrifice Canada’s military members make in service to our country, and to honour their legacy through the children they have left behind. It includes children of military members who passed away due to PTSD. Eligible children receive $4,000.00 a year, for a maximum of four years, in scholarship for their college or university education.

Through Project Hero we also facilitate learning institutions providing free tuition or services to the children of the Fallen.

The program offers easy to use tools to the teachers. In collaboration with the RMR and R22eR, the program is supported by artifacts from their regimental museum which offers the extra benefit of illustrating history with concrete and local examples.
