Bursaries
Poppy Fund monies are available for bursaries. Recipients must be Children, Grandchildren, or Great Grandchildren of veterans or ex-service personnel as specified in the General By-Laws.
Legion Membership is not a requirement to obtain a bursary.
These bursaries are given on the basis of financial need as opposed to scholarships, which are given on the basis of scholastic ability.
