Scholarship

The Greater Toronto Apartment Association (GTAA) is an association of apartment owners and property managers who own and manage over 150,000 units in purpose-built rental buildings across the GTA. In 2005, we created the Greater Toronto Apartment Association Charitable Foundation (CRA Registered Charity # 86644 2494 RR0001). To date, the GTAA and our Charitable Foundation have donated more than $1,250,000 to local organizations that help those who require assistance.

The Greater Toronto Apartment Association and our Charitable Foundation are proud to offer our fourth annual scholarship. Four winners will be selected in August 2018.

GTAA Members recognize the commitment of young people involved in local initiatives that work towards building safe, healthy and enriching communities. GTAA has created a scholarship to help four young residents wishing to further their educations.

Four recipients will each receive a $3000 scholarship to cover tuition fees for first year of post-secondary education or training at a recognized university or college or trade school or apprenticeship program.
