Bursaries, Scholarships & Awards
Our objective is to care for veterans, seniors and youth in local communities across British Columbia and the Yukon. We do this by providing bursaries, scholarships and awards to organizations that align with our mission.
Individual Legion Branches across BC/Yukon may grant bursaries through the Poppy Trust Fund to the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Veterans who need financial assistance to pursue a post-secondary education. Some Legion Branches may also award scholarships through their General Funds to recognize scholastic achievement and support youth in their community. Contact the local Legion Branch in your area for further information and assistance about bursaries or scholarships.
