The Torchia Scholarship in Public Relations/Communications is awarded annually to the student who best exemplifies the spirit and practice of bilingualism in the Canadian communications and public relations profession. It is inspired by the career of Armand Torchia, who cofounded The Houston Group with Stan Houston, and Torchia Communications with his son JeanClaude. The Scholarship adheres to the values espoused by Torchia Communications in providing quality services in both of Canada’s official languages.

The Scholarship will be awarded to a student who has chosen to study public relations/communications in one of Canada’s two official languages that is not his/her first language or mother tongue. The student will be entering his/her second year of undergraduate study in public relations/communications at a Canadian university or college, in either a degree program or a multiyear diploma or certificate program that meets recognized standards of education. The scholarship is valued at $1,500 and is for
one year only.

The application deadline is April 30 each year with the winner notified on or before September 15.
