Toronto, Ontario, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Across Canada, the next generation of changemakers is getting ready to make a positive impact on their communities. These are people like aspiring doctors, nurses, researchers and educators. This year, RTOERO scholarships are supporting 30 of them in their studies.
Since 1968, RTOERO has been a voice for teachers, school and board administrators, educational support staff and college and university faculty in their retirement. Our mission is to improve the lives of our members and seniors.
The annual scholarships serve that objective, and to date have awarded $700,000. This year’s scholarships total $90,000.
Eligible students are enrolled in programs that lead to careers related to seniors health and well-being, education or environmental stewardship, or that reflect a strong commitment to diversity, equity and/or inclusion.
“We believe that investing in students today leads to stronger, more compassionate communities tomorrow. We’re proud to support their journeys. These scholarships are part of how RTOERO gives back—not just to our members, but to society at large,” says John Cappelletti, Chair, Board of Directors, RTOERO.
For nominations, RTOERO members are encouraged to recommend students in their lives, from their family or the community.
