Since its inception in 1898, the May Court Club of Ottawa has supported social service and education projects and now offers:
The May Court Club of Ottawa Susan Anderson Memorial Scholarship for students in the Masters of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa, the Masters of Information at the University of Toronto or the Masters of Library and Information Science at Western University
In 2006, thanks to a bequest from former May Court member, Susan Anderson, the Board of Directors established the Susan Anderson Memorial Scholarship, offered yearly to a qualified student in the Masters of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa, the Masters of Information at the University of Toronto or the Masters of Library and Information Science at Western University. It is seen as a fitting tribute to Susan Anderson’s dedication to her career as a Parliamentary librarian and her volunteer work at the Rykert Library at the Civic Hospital – a service financed and staffed by the May Court Club of Ottawa.

Isabelle Roberge, University of Toronto
Testimonial from Isabelle Roberge : By awarding me the Centennial Scholarship for Nurse Practitioner Studies, my financial burden has been lightened and has allowed for me to concentrate more of my time on studying. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope one day I can help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.
Nicole Turmel, University of Ottawa.
Testimonial from Nicole Turmel : This scholarship has greatly helped with my tuition fees in my second year of my masters and nurse practitioner program. As a full-time student, this program is very condensed and only allows me to work casually. This scholarship has allowed me to keep focusing primarily on my studies.
