Scholarship Program

A.B.L.E. is also encouraging contributions to its scholarship program. 

A.B.L.E. is committed to ensuring that the criminal justice system is reflective of the entire Canadian mosaic, by providing opportunities for our young people to serve, protect and correct. Accordingly, A.B.L.E. will contribute funds towards the tuition fees of each successful candidate pursuing post-secondary education in one of the following areas of study:

• Law Enforcement/Law & Security
• Correctional Worker Program
• Law and Criminal Justice Studies
• Police Foundation Studies
• Criminology

A.B.L.E. created its scholarship program to commemorate the contributions of Rose Fortune (1774-1864) and Peter C. Butler III (1859- 1943) – the first Black police officers in Canada. By awarding scholarships, A.B.L.E. assists Black and visible minority students in achieving their educational and career aspirations.
