SCHOLARSHIPS

“There are millions of scholarship dollars offered yearly.  The Scholarship Planning Handbook provides a brief overview of information needed to navigate through the process of applying for scholarships.  Included in the handbook is a checklist for students to follow when thinking about applying for scholarships.

​
Whenever applying for any scholarship or bursary, always remember to check eligibility criteria and deadlines.  Criteria are varied and may include:  financial need, community involvement, trades exploration, pursuit of the arts, academic excellence, etc.  Check out the list below to see what scholarships might await you:”

There is a weekly “Scholarship Preparation Newsletter” available to students who are registered in the Scholarship Preparation Course.  The newsletter is designed to assist students in their search for scholarships.  Here is a sample of what is contained in the newsletter.  If a student wishes to sign up for the course they can email Lise Tetrault, Spectrum Counsellor (ltetrault@sd61.bc.ca) requesting to be added to the course.  Students registered in the course who attend the bi-weekly class and complete the assignments will earn credits toward graduation. 

For help or further information on scholarships, please see Ms. Lise Tetrault in the Counselling Centre 
(250) 479-8271 ext. 231  or email: ltetrault@sd61.bc.ca
