There are numerous locally awarded bursaries and scholarships for students within our school district.
Local Scholarship applications will be open in March 2024. More information will be available in the new year (2024) from your school counsellor.
A summary description of available scholarships will be available February 2024.
For information on our Changemaker Scholarship please send your inquiry to scholarship@sd22.bc.ca.
If you are the recipient of a locally awarded scholarship, please take the Certificate of Registration to your college/university to be filled out, as the funds will be paid to them directly and applied to your student account. Please be patient – depending on your college/university, this can often take up to 2 months to show on your student account.
If you have received a cash award, please fill out the form with your contact information and a cheque will be mailed to you.
