President's Message
Welcome to the Ontario Professional Engineers' Foundation For Education.
If you are a licensed professional engineer, this website is for you.
Professional engineers have a well-earned reputation for giving their
time, talents, and money to the society that has entrusted them with
the responsibility of governing the practice of engineering in the public
interest. They are particularly generous when it comes to helping young
people pursue interests and careers in science, technology, and engineering.
The Foundation encourages Ontario engineering students to achieve academic
excellence and to develop their leadership qualities through the
awarding of entrance and undergraduate scholarships. These scholarships
demonstrate
the commitment of the profession to its future leadership and excellence.
I urge all licensed professional engineers to make an investment in the
next generation of our profession by contributing to the work of the
Foundation.
If you are, or plan to be, an engineering student, this website is also
for you. By choosing to study engineering, you are preparing yourself
to become part of an honourable and important self-governing profession
with high standards of knowledge and responsibility. Academic studies
are the first step to acquiring the competence to practise as a professional.
The engineers who have gone before you want to encourage you to strive
for excellence in your studies.
To apply for a Foundation scholarship, please consult your university's
awards office or your engineering faculty office.
Please accept my best wishes on behalf of the Foundation for success
in your studies and your engineering career. We look forward to your
joining the ranks of the engineering profession.
