Company continues
commitment to furthering loss prevention education
PITTSBURGH, January 14, 2013 – Vector Security, Inc.,
the provider of intelligent security solutions tailored
to the needs of customers, is accepting applications for
its 2013 Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF) scholarship
program from January 15, 2013 through March 15, 2013.
Applications can be downloaded via the Vector Security
website at
www.vectorsecurity.com/lpfscholarship or the Loss
Prevention Foundation website at
www.losspreventionfoundation.org.
The scholarships provide financial support to loss
prevention professionals – or those who have an interest
in loss prevention – seeking to obtain LPQ and LPC
certifications. Vector Security began awarding the
scholarships in 2009 in support of career development
and continuing education for professionals in this
important and rapidly-growing industry.
The scholarships cover all course and examination fees
for retail loss prevention professionals who wish to
obtain LPF’s Loss Prevention Qualified (LPQ) or Loss
Prevention Certified (LPC) certifications.
Last year, the program was expanded to Canada and will
continue this year as well. A total of 10 LPQ and 10 LPC
scholarships will be awarded to U.S.-based
professionals, while another five LPC scholarships will
be awarded to Canadian-based professionals.
“We value the contributions loss prevention
professionals make to this industry and are extremely
pleased to offer the LPF scholarship program once
again,” said Michael Grady, Executive Vice President,
Vector Security. “Our commitment to this profession
remains strong. Over the years, LPQ and LPC
certifications have become immensely popular and
well-respected. We’re honored to assist worthy
individuals who otherwise may be hindered by the costs
associated with obtaining this certification.”
Anyone currently in the loss prevention industry, or has
an interest in the industry, may apply for an LPQ
scholarship. Those applying for the LPC scholarship must
meet certain eligibility requirements. Detailed
information can be found at

Vector Security has awarded 85 scholarships totaling
more than $84,500 since the program began.
