During his short time in Canada, Major Young championed the development of two scholarships at the University of Manitoba. The Selfless Soldier endowment fund supports wounded soldiers or their immediate family members. The On the Ramp–Corporal Jordan Anderson Scholarship was established for its namesake, who had been working on his degree when he was killed by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. Both scholarships will continue to serve our community long after Major Young’s return to the United States.
