The Memorial Scholarship Award program was created on 13 October 2016 to recognize our members who have passed away, while giving assistance to the young people who are our future. It runs annually from 31st November until the 31st January of the following year. This is to ensure that the applicants are actually enrolled in a field of study at the time of application.

Beginning in 2017 the program offered two (2), $1000 scholarships, offered to a child, grandchild, or great grandchild of PPAO members. The amount increased in 2018 to four (4), $1000 scholarships and again in 2019 to six (6), $2000 Scholarships. In 2022, two (s) additional scholarships were added to recognize the long service of Mr. Dale Allan, Past PPAO VP and Founding member and Mr. Paul Bailey Past President of the PPAO. Each of these scholarships were for $3000.00 and recognized meritorious service, volunteerism, or future studies in the fields of Leadership, Management and/or Labour Studies. Since its inception, the PPAO has given 40 scholarships to exceptional and well deserving students. This year another 8 deserving students will be the recipients of these awards.

Former winners of a PPAO scholarship may not apply. 

Applications are judged by the Scholarship Committee. The panel will review all applications and select  successful applicants based on approved selection guidelines. 

Applications are only accepted online and are eligible for submission from 01 November to 31 January of

the following year.

Applications will be available on the PPAO website along with application guidelines and detailed  instructions for submission.

The PPAO is a proud supporter of these scholarships and strongly encourages all eligible students to 

apply.
