The family of Officer Brian Sember and the Ottawa Police Benevolent Association announced the establishment of the Officer Brian Sember Memorial Scholarship, dedicated to preserving Semberā€™s legacy.
The scholarship aims to support individuals who exemplify Semberā€™s honesty, integrity and how he understood ā€œeveryone is human and that we all make mistakes,ā€ the police association said.
The scholarship was set in motion by Semberā€™s son, Brady Sember, who came up with the idea just weeks after his fatherā€™s passing on April 3, 2022. Brady said he was grateful for all the support he and his family received from the community he wanted to be able to give back in some way.
The scholarship was funded by a donation from the Sember estate by the officerā€™s children, Brady and Brynne Sember. The scholarship will provide $250 for the fall semester at an accredited educational institution.
Brady established the memorial scholarship not only to continue his fatherā€™s legacy as an Ottawa police officer, but also to help inspire others pursuing a career in law enforcement in Ottawa and the surrounding communities.
The scholarship application contains additional information. Scholarship applications can be found on the Ottawa PBPA Unit #18 Facebook page. The deadline for the application is May 15.
