Scholarship Award Program

In recognition of the importance of education and the need to have post secondary graduates enter into the construction industry, the Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario established a “Scholarship Program” in 2004 for children or wards of salaried employees of Association Member Companies. The objective of this program is to provide financial support for deserving children or wards of salaried personnel of member companies, for the purpose of attending recognized post-secondary institutions, and to encourage such individuals to attain a high level of academic achievement.
