Prevention Foundation
(LPF) scholarship program from now through March 31, 2014. Applications can be

The scholarships provide financial support to loss prevention professionals – or

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.
In 2012, the program was expanded into 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.
