Congratulations to this year's scholarship recipients!
This year's awards ceremony, scheduled on August 26th at The University Club of McMaster presented each student with a $1000.00 Scholarship.

The MCA Hamilton Scholarship program has provided, through the generosity of our members, over $260,000.00 in Scholarships since the program's inception 14 years ago.

SCHOLARSHIPS

To emphasize the importance of education and our desire to have post secondary graduates enter into the construction industry, the Mechanical Contractors Association of Hamilton established The MCAH Scholarship Program.

OBJECTIVE

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.

RECOGNIZED PROGRAM - DEGREE/DIPLOMA

Degree courses offered by Canadian Universities and Ontario Community Colleges will be given primary consideration. Should there be no candidates in the above programs, consideration may be extended to other courses by various recognized institutions providing the intent of the scholarship program is met.

ELIGIBILITY

The scholarship fund will be awarded annually to sons, daughters or legal wards of persons who are full-time salaried employees of association members. Where companies have multiple offices or multiple areas of activity, the eligibility will be restricted to those servicing the MCA Hamilton area. The member firm must be in good standing for at least one year. The firms must sponsor the candidate(s) and the application(s) must be endorsed by the senior executive officer of the zone operations. The candidate must be a Canadian Citizen who has or will successfully complete the requirement to qualify for post-secondary education. A student must not otherwise receive a major scholarship or bursary.

BASIS OF SELECTION

The Scholarship will be awarded to outstanding students enrolling in a course leading to a University Degree or Community College Diploma. The award will be based on academic achievement in the previous academic year. Having a minimum "B" average is a prerequisite. In addition to academic achievement, preference will be given to those showing an interest in the construction industry. Extra-curricular activity, work experience, employment reference, and supporting material, written submission and course of study will be an added aspect of selection.
