BURSARIES

We will Remember them

In remembrance of those who came before us, Rise and Conquers bursaries seek to continue the legacy of service and sacrifice through empowering those who continue to serve. Dedicated to those who exhibited values of selflessness and dedication, our bursaries pass the torch to the new generation. Alleviating some of the financial hardship that these individuals may encounter in funding their educational pursuits, the bursaries allow serving personnel to focus on what matters most: service to their units, service to their community, and service to their country.
