The Direct Sellers Association of Canada (DSA Canada) announced the recipients of its 2023 Scholarship Program.
This is a yearly program and it consists of four, $4,000 scholarships. Nominations are open to Canadian students in all years of post-secondary study with ties to the direct selling industry. Nominees must be children or grandchildren of active independent sales consultants (ISCs) of DSA Canada member companies, active ISCs themselves, or children of DSA Canada member company employees.
“We are excited to present these scholarships to such a talented group of outstanding students,” said Peter Maddox, DSA President. “Direct selling has played such a significant role in their personal growth and development. It is such an honour to give back through our Scholarship Program and to continue to promote entrepreneurship in Canada.”
The four recipients of the 2023 DSA Canada Scholarships, and their associated DSA Canada member companies, are:
- Maja Zbogar, Western University, Cutco/Vector Marketing Canada
- Mattie Cull, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Pampered Chef Canada
- Angel Ferguson, Lawrence College, Arbonne International Canada

Since its inception, the DSA Canada’s Scholarship Program has awarded over $132,000 in grants to post- secondary students across Canada to help them advance their education. The program also helps to raise awareness of the direct selling business model, both with students and academia. It receives support from the Direct Selling Education Foundation (DSEF); a not-for-profit organization established by DSA Canada in 1994. The DSEF promotes public awareness of the direct selling industry in Canada and serves the public interest through educational programs and research into direct sales and micro- enterprise.
