The Scholarship is awarded annually to the student who best exemplifies the spirit and practice of bilingualism in the Canadian communications and public relations profession. Inspired by the career of Armand Torchia, who co-founded The Houston Group with Stan Houston, and Torchia Communications with his son Jean-Claude, the Scholarship adheres to the values espoused by Torchia Communications in providing quality services in both of Canada's official languages.

Applications for the awarding of the first scholarship are now available in university or community college PR/communication studies departments. The deadline for application submission is April 30, and a panel comprising a jury chair and three public relations and/or education professionals will review the submissions and determine the successful candidate. The scholarship recipient will be notified by September 15.
