Royal Canadian Mounted Police Troop 17 Scholarship 2025

The creation of the Troop 17 Scholarship was part of the Merlo-Davidson settlement agreement, and is one of the initiatives the RCMP has implemented to help promote diversity and inclusion and prevent harassment.

The scholarship is named after the first troop of women to attend the RCMP Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan, and be hired as regular members of the RCMP. The women of Troop 17 pushed through the challenges that come with working in a male-dominated career, and paved the way for many others who followed in their footsteps. One of these women was Beverley Busson, who received many honours for her service within the organization. In 2006, she became the first woman to serve as Commissioner of the RCMP.
