22. Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CHHA)

The mandate of CHHA is to encourage awareness of hearing loss and to advocate self-help for hard of hearing or deafened people. Its aim is to achieve full hearing accessibility in Canadian society. The Canadian Hard of Hearing Association Foundation (CHHAF) was established to create a perpetual financial legacy to support the activities of CHHA, and create specific initiatives for hard of hearing or deafened persons in Canada. The Algar family wishes to continue to support the work of their parents, particularly their father Frank Algar, who was a strong advocate of the rights of hard of hearing people and had great faith in young people.

The purpose of the Scholarship Program is to offer financial assistance and recognition to hard of hearing and deafened students registered in a full time program at a recognized Canadian college or university, in any area of study, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a diploma or degree. Again this year two awards of $1,000 will be granted.

Applicants are requested to read the criteria for eligibility (available in #103 - Financial Aid Office) and to provide all the information required. The selection of award recipients will be made by the Scholarship Committee. The decisions of the Committee are final.
