Since the founding of Mount Royal University in 1910, hundreds of Mount Royal students, faculty, staff and alumni have served in uniform. Since the First World War, 30 have given their lives.
In 2011, Mount Royal’s centennial year, a memorial bursary was created in the name of each of their fallen soldiers. Following Canada’s 150th anniversary, the university sought to raise funds in order to create a permanent endowment for each of these bursaries. These Military Memorial Bursaries will honour the sacrifice made by the fallen members of Mount Royal, while furthering the dreams of 30 Mount Royal students, every year, in perpetuity.

Inscription found on memorial
[wall/mur]
(plaque)
The pages of history are
written in the extraordinary
actions of ordinary
people - those who
answer the call to serve
their country.
Over decades, Mount Royal
students, alumni, faculty
and staff have courageously
served Canada in uniform.
To them, we owe a debt
of gratitude.
In our centennial year, we
honour those who have
made the ultimate sacrifice.
(plaque)
Their names, hopes and
promise will live in new
bursaries inspiring future
generations of students
to reach for their dreams.
The spirit of courage and
sacrifice and determination
is still needed. The call of
a new Canada must find a
ready response in the
hearts of our young people.
