The Rosemary McCain McMillin Scholarship is awarded to young people who are or who were in the care of the Province of New Brunswick and who are looking to pursue studies at the graduate level. The scholarship covers up to $5,000 of the cost of post-secondary tuition and fees.
The Rosemary McCain McMillin Scholarship fund was founded by the remarkable woman who has lent it her name. Her generosity has helped us grow our programs and reach more youth in need over the past decade.
“I give because of a feeling deep inside me. It’s part of my history and part of my family. Dad and mother always helped others, and I remember that very well. I grew up in the depression, where there were six children at home. I remember my father coming home at the end of the week with a roll of lifesavers for the six of us to share – it was a great treat and we were all so thankful. I had the most wonderful childhood, and I wish all children could have the same thing. Education is so important, and I want to give children the opportunity to succeed.”
