Since its inception in 1898, the May Court Club of Ottawa has supported social service and education projects and now offers scholarships for students in an Information Studies program and students in an Ontario university attending a Nurse Practitioner program.
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 former Rykert Library at the Civic Hospital – a service financed and staffed by the May Court Club of Ottawa.
