Utility Contractors’ Association of Ontario has established a scholarship program to assist children of members who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Applicants to the Utility Contractors’ Association of Ontario Scholarship Program must be:
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $3,000 CAD award. Up to thirteen (13) awards will be granted. Awards are one-time only. Past recipients may apply.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
All applicants will be notified in February.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Utility Contractors’ Association of Ontario. Payment is made in early August.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, a statement of educational and career goals and objectives, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an online recommendation. Financial need is not considered.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Utility Contractors’ Association of Ontario play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
