For cadets planning to attend secondary education in the fall.

Legions give bursaries to students who are Veterans, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of Veterans who are in need of financial assistance. Bursaries can be awarded at any stage of university or college. The veteran did not have to belong to the Legion, but descendants of veterans who are/were members of Lancaster branch #69 will be given preference.

Please find the attached application form (PDF). Up to 6 bursaries valued at one thousand dollars each will be awarded.

Applications must be returned to:
Royal Canadian Legion Branch #69
Attn: Bursary Chair Allan Stevenson
P.O. Box 27052 R.P.O. Lancaster
Saint John, NB E2M 5S8

No later than July 13th, 2020

Remember, The Legion is a big supporter of Air Cadets and our unit.

All League tickets and money must be returned to Lt. and Capt. Hutchinson at Personal Auto & Tire, at 451 Rothesay Ave. in Saint John. They are still open.

Stay Safe and Healthy.
