The Erb Group’s Service to Community Scholarship

The OTA (Ontario Trucking Association) Education Foundation is a charitable institution devoted to furthering education for Ontario post-secondary students. The foundation was established by visionaries of the Ontario trucking industry who wanted to put their best foot forward and support the goal of financially assisting students. Since 1958, they’ve helped create various scholarship opportunities for Ontario’s youth regardless of their field of study.

Although the OTA supports a wide assortment of individuals, it seeks people who constantly demonstrate commitment to academic success, outstanding community service involvement, and plans to be affiliated with the trucking industry. Through its scholarship program, the OTA continues its legacy by investing in future generations of children whose parents work in Ontario’s trucking workforce in both driving and non-driving positions.

Service to Community Scholarship

Since 2008, The Erb Group has annually sponsored a $1,000 scholarship fund to support its mission of assisting future generations of parents in the trucking industry.

At The Erb Group, we value the transformative power of community service. That’s why we continue to sponsor the ‘Service to Community’ award, honouring a student who demonstrates exemplary community spirit or support and charitable involvement. This scholarship is awarded to a first-year post-secondary student entering a public Ontario college or university directly from high school with a passion for bringing people together and working toward community causes. We believe that by serving our customers, we can also serve our communities and share our good fortune with families, friends and the neighbourhoods where we live and work.
