Each year the Association of Justices of the Peace of Ontario (AJPO), the Association of Ontario Judges (AOJ) and the Ontario Superior Court Judges’ Association (OSCJA) provide a bursaries to Ontario students in each of their judicial regions who are entering post secondary studies leading to a career in the justice sector. Recipients are chosen based on academic excellence and financial need. 219 students applied to the bursary program this year.
22 students began their post-secondary education this fall with the help of a bursary from one of these judicial associations. Their fields of study ranged from a wide range of law related programs, including policing, forensic science, criminology and political science, etc.
Many of the recipients expressed their appreciation for having been selected to receive a bursary, including this recipient of the Association of Ontario Judges bursary from Central East Region who wrote:
“Your investment in my education means so much to me and it is such an incredible honour to be recognized. I deeply respect the work of each Justice in Ontario and receiving your letter has been most overwhelming.”
