THE OAKVILLE YOUTH MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
As a memorial to Charlene Coon Gilmour, Norman and Pat Coon and their family started the Oakville Youth Memorial Scholarship Fund in June 1986.
Awarded annually for scholastic achievement, potential or financial need, the scholarship is given to selected students who reside within the Oakville Parks and Recreation District or are active in the Oakville Presbyterian Church.
From the scholarship’s inaugural recipient Mike Cunningham in 1987, who went on to become a high school teacher in the area, the fund has benefited many students as they seek to continue their higher education.
