The Marion Roberts Memorial Scholarship For children or spouses or employees of AIA Member Companies
Deadline: July 15 of each year
The AIA/Marion Roberts Memorial Scholarship Awards were developed by the Automotive Industries Association of Canada to provide financial assistance and encouragement to enable students to further their education at the post secondary school level, thereby improving their potential for personal fulfillment and for making a meaningful contribution to society.
The scholarships honour Marion Roberts, a longtime staff member of the Association's head office in Ottawa. The awards recognize and applaud her hard work and dedication to this industry. Recognizing that it would be difficult for individual members to offer a scholarship program, the Association has undertaken an incentive program for young people on behalf of the entire membership.
Applicants must be the dependent child or spouse, of a full-time employee in an active AIA member company in good standing. Confirmation of the parent's/spouse's employment must be provided by the Member Company and be sent along with the scholarship application.
Applicants must be enrolled in a full-time post secondary program leading to a degree, certificate or diploma at an accredited university, college, technical school or C.E.G.E.P. (Quebec).
An overall score from the selection committee of 100 or more points must be achieved.
Application Process The administration of the program is carried out by the National Office of AIA under the direction of the President and Executive Committee. Applicants must submit their application with all necessary documentation to AIA Canada by July 15. Any application that is received incomplete or later than July 15 will not be considered.
