IODE Canada War Memorial Doctoral Scholarship
As World War I ended, the National Chapter of Canada initiated a living memorial to 60,000 Canadians whose lives were sacrificed. This War Memorial, approved at the 1918 Annual Meeting in Montreal, provided bursaries for university studies in Canada to children of men killed or permanently disabled in the Great War. Immediately, a campaign to raise $500,000 began and by 1920 the first bursaries were awarded. (more...)
