Description
Scott Hannah was the founding President and CEO for the Credit Counselling Society (CCS) when it opened its doors in 1996 through until 2023 at which time he retired. A focused vision combined with a passion to help others, ensured CCS’s humble beginnings flourished into the organization it is today. Scott brought energy and passion to the world of personal money management, financial education, and credit counselling and thousands of Canadians’ financial well-being has been improved as a direct impact of Scott’s commitment to this work. Sadly, Scott passed away in June 2023, but not a day goes by where his influence cannot be felt.
The Credit Counselling Society is excited to recognize students who have a passion for personal finance and financial literacy!
To that end, the Board of Directors has approved the establishment of scholarship program to honour Scott’s legacy.
