Steve Falk joins Canadian Print Scholarships as Executive Director
Increasing its commitment to attract leading students and create a growing funnel of future workers for Canadian graphic communications and print industries, Canadian Print Scholarships has augmented its leadership team with the hiring of Steve Falk as Executive Director.
Recognizing Canadian print and graphic communications industries compete for talent with many other industry sectors, Canadian Print Scholarships is investing in its leadership team to entice accredited students to the post secondary, specialized technical and academic programs delivered by our eight educational partner schools across Canada. Canadian Print Scholarships annually awards 90+ scholarships valued at over $130,000 to incent students to develop their careers in our industries.
Today, Canadian Print Scholarships is proud to introduce Steve Falk as our new Executive Director. A highly-recognized Canadian industry leader, Steve has led many teams and businesses in the publishing, print and direct mail industries. His passion for developing others and supporting diverse industry interest groups has been exemplified with leadership roles with the Sustainable Mail Group, Digital Imaging Association and NAMMU associations.

Steve will work closely with Ken Freek the previous Executive Director of Canadian Print Scholarships. Ken’s leadership over the last 6 years has helped create a strong brand and multi-media presence with student, educator and donor communities. Ken will retain an active role with the Canadian Print Scholarship team in a newly created role as its ‘Marketing & Social Media Manager’.
“Building with Steve, Ken and our Executive team significantly enhances our current resources and expertise to drive a vibrant funnel of future workers for our graphic communications industry sectors. Their leadership with our partner educators and generous donor community will enable Canadian Print Scholarships to reach further with our scholarship awards,” commented Mike Collinge – Chair.
“The mission of Canadian Print Scholarships is to attract the brightest and best students available to the graphic communications industry by providing financial assistance to enroll and continue in a post-secondary management or technical program at an approved institution.”
