Disappointing number applying for Legion student bursaries

Each year, the Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command through its Charitable Foundation and the Ladies’ Auxiliary offers a bursary of $1,000 to post-secondary students.

Ontario Command has $400,000 in the Bursary Fund and, to date, there have been only 80 applications in all of Ontario.

Legion Pres. Bob Harrison

“It is very disappointing that we have so few bursary applications this year, not only at Branch 340 but all of Ontario,” says Port Elgin Branch 340 President Bob Harrison. “Therefore, for anyone knowing of any student who would like to apply, they must do so right away. All fully completed applications MUST be received by Ontario Command by Friday, March 31st, no exceptions.”
