The Université de Moncton Creates the Fonds de bourses Gendarmes de la GRC/RCMP Constables Douglas Larche, Dave Ross, et/and Fabrice Gevaudan Scholarship Fund

The Université de Moncton has created the Fonds de bourses Gendarmes de la GRC/RCMP Constables Douglas Larche, Dave Ross, et/and Fabrice Gevaudan Scholarship Fund after receiving a $300,000 grant from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The income generated by the fund will be awarded as scholarships to be known as the Bourses Gendarmes de la GRC/RCMP Constables Douglas Larche, Dave Ross, et/and Fabrice Gevaudan Scholarships, the first of which will be awarded for the 2019-2020 academic year.

“These scholarships will help to lessen the financial burden on students who are deeply involved in their communities, just as Constables Larche, Ross and Gevaudan were during their careers,” said Acting President and Vice-Chancellor of the Université de Moncton, Jacques Paul Couturier.

The number and monetary value of the scholarships will be determined by a Université de Moncton selection committee.

The original $300,000 capital will be maintained in perpetuity, and only the income from the Fund will be used to award scholarships.

Recipients will be chosen based on two criteria. They must be enrolled as full-time students at the Moncton Campus of the Université de Moncton and show volunteer commitment to the Greater Moncton community.
