OTA scholarships applications available for 2011-’12
TORONTO — Scholarship applications are now available from the OTA Education Foundation for Ontario post-secondary students.
Students can apply for university or college scholarships in the amount of $1,500 and $1,000 respectively to help them fund their tuition and other academic fees, says the Ontario Trucking Association.
In addition, students entering their first year of post-secondary studies directly from high school are eligible to apply for the J.O. Goodman Award (university) or the C. V. Hoar Award (college).
In order to be eligible for the scholarships, students must provide proof of acceptance into a recognized full-time program at an approved university or college, be 25 years of age or under as of January 1, 2011, and be sponsored by an Ontario trucking company or trucking services/supply company that employs or contracts a parent of the applicant.
In addition, students must submit a brief essay that answers a question about the trucking industry.
The OTA Education Foundation college and university scholarships as well as the J.O. Goodman and C.V. Hoar awards are funded through donations that are received primarily from trucking and trucking related companies, for which tax receipts are issued.
The Student Scholarship Application Package for the 2011/2012 Academic Year is available here.
