In 1997, the then Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services created the Public Safety Officers' Survivors 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' Survivors 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 June 11, 2009. An application form and application guidelines, in English and in French, 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 Minister 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:
