Fred Mifflin Memorial Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $3,000
Awards Available: 1
Award Deadline: Jun 30, 2023

The Navy League of Canada recognizes the importance of post-secondary education to the future success of its Cadet members. We believe that important life skills developed through cadet training (self-discipline, organization, teamwork, etc.) help prepare youth to tackle the challenges of college and university education. We encourage all cadets to apply themselves to their studies.

The economic burden of higher education on Canadian youth is increasing, causing many to miss out on tremendous opportunities. To ease this burden, The Navy League of Canada is committed to providing scholarship opportunities for cadets who have demonstrated the will to achieve.

Rear-Admiral Fred Mifflin Memorial Scholarship

Each year, the Navy League of Canada issues one Maritime Affairs Scholarship valued at $3,000 to an active Sea Cadet entering an accredited post-secondary program within the maritime sector. Rear-Admiral Fred Mifflin joined the Royal Canadian Navy at age 16 and commanded both at sea and ashore over his 33-year career. He was the Commanding Officer of HMCS SKEENA from 1970-1972, and finally, Deputy Commander of the RCN from 1985-1987. After retiring from the RCN, he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Bonavista-TrinityConception from 1988-1999 and held various positions in Parliament, including Minister of Veterans Affairs, and Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. Rear-Admiral Mifflin was the Honorary Chairman of The Navy League of Canada for 17 years, and in 2011 he was awarded the Robert I. Hendy Award for his national and international contribution to Maritime Affairs.
