Through the generosity of long-term OACETT member Norman Kallio, C.E.T., the Fletcher Foundation has established the Kallio Award, which annually awards 2 (two) $400 bursaries to support OACETT Student Members in writing the Professional Practice Exam (PPE) while they are in college. The bursary covers the cost of registration, exam preparation and the writing of the exam itself. The applicants must be full-time students registered in an engineering or applied science technology program in an Ontario College and must be student members of OACETT.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible, the applicant must:
1. Submit an official transcript or other proof of registration from the college confirming that they are enrolled as a full-time student in an Engineering or Applied Science Technology Program at a public Ontario college.
2. Please provide demonstration of financial need.
There will be no Bursary consideration if the Total Gross Annual Family Income is $85,000 or more.
Selection Process
Submission must be received by the Fletcher Foundation secretary no later than Wednesday, April 30, 2025. All submissions will be coded and the recipients will be chosen by random draw from among those who meet the eligibility criteria. Only complete applications will be considered. The bursaries will be paid directly to the students’ accounts with OACETT to enroll them for the exam.
