The CHPTA is pleased to offer the Association’s scholarship program in memory of our former President Vaughn Crofford, who passed away in June of 2023.
The Canadian Home Products Trade Association (CHPTA) recognizes the importance of education and, therefore, encourages children and grandchildren of employees of our member companies to attend university or college. To help offset the cost of a post-secondary education, the Association is pleased to offer a Scholarship Program. Successful candidates receive $1,000 (CDN) for their first year of study leading to a degree from an accredited Canadian community college or university.
The program is offered to Canadian companies or divisions of companies based in Canada.
Eligibility:
- The student’s parent, grandparent, or guardian must be an active full-time employee with at least one year’s seniority with the CHPTA or a CHPTA member company as of July 15th in the year of application.
- Applicants must be high school seniors or in their last year of CEGEP in Quebec, preparing to enter an accredited Canadian community college or university in the fall term.
- Applicants must attain a minimum average of 75% in the last year of high school or CEGEP.
