Chosen from more than 125 applicants, the awardees represent a variety of professional backgrounds and, for the first time, include seven Canadian-based winners. "In making ourselection, we look for individuals who express the highest level of desire for the opportunity, as well as those who have a positive outlook as to how they will use this program to enhance their value to their respective employers," said Michael Grady, Executive Vice President of Vector Security. "Persistence and demonstrated career progression are also important. Seven of this year’s winners had submitted applications in prior years and didn’t give up after the first try."

Grady added that the company’s commitment to supporting the scholarship program remains steadfast. "The LPQ and LPC certification courses were designed by the LPF to fill a void that could not be filled elsewhere. Now that these courses have taken root in the minds of loss prevention professionals, they have grown immensely popular.
Vector Security is honored to be part of an effort to make these scholarships available to worthy individuals who otherwise may not be able to afford them."

"With support from Vector Security, last year we broadened the use of the LPQ course to a new type of position at one of the nation’s largest auto parts and service retailers," said Gene Smith, LPF President. "The retailer chose to educate their Margin Control Specialists, who make certain that shrinkage is kept at a minimum within the supply and sales chain. This marked a milestone in the use of the LPQ to help educate non-LP personnel."
