2023 Student Scholarships

How and When are the MROO Scholarship Recipients Notified?

Award recipients will be notified in September by email. Those receiving funds will be required to provide a Social Insurance Number [SIN] so MROO can issue a T4A Tax Receipt at the beginning of 2024. Banking information is necessary for MROO to send the funds via Electronic Funds Transfer.

Students submit this information by returning to a secure, password-protected page on the MROO website. This confidential information is removed from the website after it has been retrieved by MROO and passed onto our Finance Team for processing the payments and the T4A Income Tax Receipts.
