Promoting Technical Education in Alberta

ETSFA, an organization made up of past presidents of ASET, actively promotes technical education for students at Alberta technical institutes and colleges. It also promotes the continued professional development of ASET members. ETSFA accomplishes this through the establishment and administration of several scholarships.

Scholarships were initially funded solely from the generous contributions of the past presidents of ASET. ASET has also been contributing to several scholarships for years. In recent years, affinity agreements have been negotiated that contribute significantly to the scholarship fund, providing ETSFA with much-needed support.

Donate to ETSFA

ASET Members see an optional ETSFA donation contribution box when they pay their annual dues. Dues invoices also have a separate section to record ETSFA contributions.

Non-members are also welcome to donate to the scholarship foundation and will receive a tax receipt from the registered charity. Many of the families of long-term ASET members have donated to ETSFA in memory of their loved ones. Donations in lieu of flowers are also accepted by ETSFA.

ETSFA contributions are accepted by phone at 1-800-272-5619 or in the Edmonton area at 780-425-0626.

Sponsoring a Scholarship

Individuals, organizations and companies interested in supporting ETSFA scholarships—or creating new ones!—should contact ASET to discuss ideas. All donations to ETSFA are fully tax-deductible. ETSFA's annual operating expenses are borne by ASET, meaning 100% of all donations go into the scholarship fund.
