Tammy Barclay of Moose Jaw was among the 16 recipients of the Saskatchewan Scholarship of Honour earlier in November, awarded through the Ministry of Education.
The scholarship is awarded annually to Canadian Forces members who have seen active duty in military operations after January 2001, as well as the spouses or children of injured or fallen members.
Barclay, as a recipient, received $5,000 toward her post-secondary education.
“Our government is forever grateful to the many men and women serving in Canada’s Armed Forces,” Advanced Education Minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor said, in a press release. “This scholarship will help them pursue their post-secondary studies and is a small way we can honour these brave individuals who have given so much to protect our country and our freedom.”
The Scholarship of Honour was created in 2009, and has awarded a total of $1,130,000. Of those recipients, 34 have been family members of fallen or injured Canadian Forces members.
