The Municipal Retirees Organization Ontario has awarded over $120,00 in student scholarships distributed to 40 students across the province including one locally.
Carina Thachuk from Cottam was awarded a $3,000 scholarship to go towards their education in 2025-2026. Thachuk is currently studying English Language & Literature at the University of Windsor.
The scholarships support recipients in their post-secondary studies. All recipients are family members of current MROO members. Scholarships are awarded in each Zone (nine Zones across the province and a 10th which covers the rest of the country) with recipients determined based on the number of applicants and specific eligibility criteria, including the student’s leadership skills, volunteer experience, and commitment to making a difference in their communities.
Lucie Lombardo, Director of Zone 1 (Chatham-Kent, Lambton, and Essex Counties), explains the importance of the MROO student scholarship program. “Now in its 19th year, the MROO scholarship program is an integral part of MROO’s mandate to give back to our members and communities across Ontario. We are so happy to support our future leaders through our annual student scholarship program. Congratulations and best of luck to Carina and Abby!”
Another student from Chatham-Kent (Dresden), Abby McGee, was also awarded a MROO scholarship. McGee is currently studying for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Lambton College.
