The May Court Club of Ottawa has a long history of supporting social services and education projects in the community with particular emphasis on literacy and services to the disabled among others. In 2006 the May Court Grants Committee recommended to the Board that funds received from the bequest of Susan Anderson be utilized to sponsor a Scholarship in her memory. She spent many years of her life as one of the librarians at the Parliamentary Library in Ottawa as well as a dedicated volunteer to the Rykert Library at the Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus a service which is offered by the May Court Club of Ottawa. Her interest in and support for the Club never failed.

To recognize her tremendous contribution to the Club and to society, the Board has established the Susan Anderson Memorial Scholarship in the Master’s Program in Information Studies at the University of Ottawa.
