2024 MROO Scholarship Recipients

The Municipal Retirees Organization of Ontario is pleased to announce that our annual Student Scholarship Program has distributed 37 scholarships to post-secondary students going into second year across the province. A grand total of $113,000 was awarded in 2024.

MROO is divided into 9 Zones across Ontario with Zone Directors responsible for each region. Scholarships were awarded in each Zone, as well as a limited number in a region that encompasses the rest of the country. Recipients were determined based on the number of applicants and specific eligibility criteria, including the students’ leadership skills, volunteer experience, and commitment to making a difference in their communities. Recipients must all have a familial relationship to a MROO Lifetime Member.

We are also pleased to announce that MROO's largest scholarship of $5,000 went to Willow James of LaSalle. Willow is currently majoring in neuroscience and psychology, with a minor in biomedical ethics at the University of Toronto - Scarborough Campus.
