The CHPTA recognizes the importance of education, and therefore encourages children of employees of our association member companies to attend university or college. To help offset the cost of a post-secondary education, the CHPTA has been pleased to offer a Scholarship Program.
In 2024, the program was renamed in memory of the Association’s former President Vaughn Crofford who passed away in June of 2023.
The CHPTA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the Vaughn Crofford Memorial Scholarship Program recipients for the year 2024. The finalists were chosen by weighted ballot draw and this year we are pleased to award two scholarships to:
Megan Gagliardi
Megan is from Baie D’urfe, Quebec and is the daughter of Mark Gagliardi who works for J.L. Gagliardi & Associates Ltd. Megan will be attending McGill University this fall in the Bachelor of Science program to pursue a major in Pharmacology. Her ultimate goal is to work in healthcare in either medicine or pharmaceuticals.
Baden Powell
Baden is from Calgary, Alberta and is the son of Dave Powell who works for King Marketing Ltd. Baden will be attending Purdue Northwest University in Indiana this fall to study Mechanical Engineering while also playing club hockey.
The CHPTA would like to thank everyone who applied for this year’s scholarships and would like to congratulate and wish this year’s recipients well with their upcoming studies. Since 2001, the CHPTA has awarded $211,000 towards scholarships and some 111 young people have benefited from the program.
