Roy Cooper Memorial Scholarship

Roy Cooper Memorial Scholarship application is now open.

With our collective health and well being in mind, we have decided to close LDAYR’s physical office until the current state of emergency is lifted and health officials indicate it is safe to return to work and as such we will only be accepting applications on line. Please email your application and supporting documents directly to helga.sirola@ldayr.org . Applications are due June 12th 2020.

The Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario offers a $1,000 scholarship award in memory of Roy V. Cooper, who volunteered for over 30 years as a board member of his local chapter in Ottawa, as a board member of LDAO and LDAC, and as a mentor to individuals with LD and/or their families in the areas of self-advocacy and assistive technology.

This scholarship recognizes an Ontario high school student who has a documented Learning Disability and who will be attending a post secondary institution during the 2019-2020 academic year. The student must be pursuing a bachelor of engineering or a bachelor of science in a physical sciences discipline (please note: physical sciences do not include social sciences or technology majors).

Mr. Cooper spent his working life in the engineering/physical sciences field
