 Leonard Foundation Scholarships

Reuben Wells Leonard was born in 1860 in Brantford, Ontario, where he attended public elementary and secondary schools. He then attended and graduated from Royal Military College, Kingston, as a Silver Medalist.  The Leonard Foundation was created in 1916 and revised in 1923. The foundation has a Charitable Trust and also a Financial Assistance Program for students who, without help from the Foundation, would not be able to continue their education.

Over the years, the amount available for the Financial Assistance Program has grown to approximately $175,000.00 annually.  The Leonard Foundation scholarships are awarded to students enrolled or enrolling in an accredited undergraduate degree program in a College or University in Canada. The institutions must be open to all without restriction except for an academic standard. Applicants must be Canadian citizens or landed immigrants.

 The Kathryn M. Morrison Scholarship in Political Studies

The Kathryn M. Morrison Scholarship in Political Studies will recognize a student entering their first year of post-secondary education from Newfoundland and Labrador who displays an exceptional interest in politics and public policy, and an ability to articulate critical thinking and analysis in a political context. Established to recognize the contributions of Kate Morrison, a passionate lawyer, public servant and advocate for social justice, the scholarship aims to encourage the study and practice of politics and public service. The timing of this scholarship is crucial. Newfoundland and Labrador is facing challenges from income inequality to outmigration, and we expect governments to respond with concrete public policy. Yet, at the same time, negative perceptions of politicians and policy-makers have led so many to disengage. While we continue to rely on governments to address our concerns, many students do not receive proper civic education, nor are they encouraged to consider careers in politics or public service. The Morrison Scholarship aims to change that.  Applications are available now. See website to apply.
