IODE War Memorial Scholarships

The National Chapter of Canada IODE initiated War Memorial Doctoral Scholarships in 1918 to commemorate Canadians who sacrificed their lives for peace and freedom. Initially, bursaries were granted to children of men and women who lost their lives or who were permanently disabled while fighting for Canada. Since the first scholarships were awarded in 1921, IODE War Memorial Scholars have made important contributions to Canada and the world in medicine, business, politics, and academia. Today these scholarships are awarded to students attending Canadian or Commonwealth universities.

A committee in the the province of the candidate's first degree makes selections and forwards the nominations to the National Chapter where the final decision are made. The National Selection Committee is comprised of five IODE members and three professors from different universities.
