A Word from the President
Welcome to the official website of the Association of Professors Retired from the University of Ottawa (APRUO). The APRUO is the official representative of retired professors and librarians at the University of Ottawa, as recognized by the University administration and by the Association of Professors of the University of Ottawa (APUO). It promotes the interests, well-being, and objectives of its members, and maintains mutually beneficial relationships with the University of Ottawa, the APUO and the Administrative Staff Retiree Association (ASRA). It also offers scholarships to undergraduate students whose close relative is or has been an employee of the University.
I invite you to browse the different sections of the website, which feature detailed information on pensions, benefits, resources for academic retirees, and our membership in CURAC (College and University Retirees Associations of Canada). The website also includes announcements about events and activities sponsored by the APRUO, such as our annual general meeting and our annual Ognanovic lecture on aspects of aging.
This website permits members to manage their membership (renewals, updating of personal details, contact information, etc.) safely and securely. If you are not a member of the APRUO, I invite you to join. The members of the Board of Directors are your colleagues who volunteer their time to defend your rights and well-being as a retired professor. Your support will be appreciated. I also welcome your suggestions and comments. Write to me at APRUO@uottawa.ca.
The APRUO Scholarship Fund
The APRUO established a scholarship fund in 2003 to provide financial assistance to family members (children, grandchildren, and other dependents) of past and present University of Ottawa employees. University education is costly, and financial difficulty is one of the main challenges students face in completing their studies. In this context, scholarship funds provide qualified undergraduate students with the assistance they need to pursue their studies and continue their personal and educational development.
At its inception, the APRUO Scholarship Fund envisaged financing two awards annually in the amount of $1,000, subject to the availability of funds. As the endowment has grown, we have, in recent years, been able to offer annually four scholarships worth $2000 each. In any given year, awards are subject to the number of qualified applicants and the current income of the scholarship fund. To contribute to the fund, please click here.
