Scholarship

Bravo Zulu to all those involved in this project:

Children of Canadian military personnel killed while serving in the Forces are eligible for a new scholarship to help with their post-secondary education.

The $1.6-million Canada Company scholarship fund will provide up to $4,000 per year for up to four years for those who have lost a parent either at home or abroad.

"This is one of those situations where you have a fund which ideally you'd like nobody to ever use and draw from," said Blake Goldring, Canada Company chairman and CEO of AGF Management Limited.

"We want to see they've got the opportunity and not worry about this extra financial burden as they complete their studies."

Well done. And let me echo the sentiments of those quoted in the article, hoping that not another child becomes eligible for this bursary, as unlikely as that may be.
