Due to the unique circumstances of military life, funds for pursuing post-secondary education are a significant barrier for many Canadian Forces families. The National Scholarship Program works to remove some of those barriers.
A minimum of seventy-five (75) scholarships are available, ranging between $500 and $5,000 in value.
