In 1997, the then Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services
created the Public Safety Officers’ Survivor Scholarship Fund to provide
scholarships for spouses and children of public safety officers killed in the
line of duty. In 2002, the fund was renamed Constable Joe MacDonald
Public Safety Officers’ Survivor Scholarship Fund, in honour of Constable Joseph
MacDonald of the Sudbury Police Service,
who was shot in the line of duty in 1993.
The purpose of the present communiqué is to remind you of the availability of
the scholarship and to give details on the application process. Please note that
the deadline for submitting an application this year is May
20, 2005. An application form and application guidelines are enclosed.
For the purpose of the scholarship, “public safety officer” is defined as:
An advisory committee reviews all eligible applications and makes
recommendation to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.
Following approval and after having received original receipts, the ministry
issues a cheque to help cover the cost of tuition, textbooks, accommodation
and living expenses.
Please bring information about the scholarship to the
attention of any survivors in your community that may be eligible for the
scholarship.
Anyone who meets the criteria for this scholarship should submit their
application with supporting documents to:
Manager, Program Development Section
Policing Services Division
