Post Secondary Education is an exciting time in a students life, however the costs associated with post-secondary education continue to grow. The Board of Education supports recognizing student achievement through scholarships, bursaries and awards.
There are many Financial Awards available to students from sources such as local community businesses and service organizations, the British Columbia Ministry of Education and Child Care, Post Secondary Institutions and other organizations and foundations. All offer various levels of support to graduating students seeking to pursue post secondary education.
Each Secondary School in Chilliwack has dedicated career staff and counselors to assist students who wish to learn about and apply for local, provincial and national awards and guide your search for industry and institutional awards. These staff are also available to meet with parents, and can provide a wealth of information about available awards and the application processes.
The Chilliwack School District is committed to promoting and providing equity, diversity and inclusion for our students and staff. Without discrimination and in particular regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual identity, mental or physical disability, we encourage all students to apply to any award that they meet the criteria for.
If you are graduating in June, begin the process of seeking information and applying for awards early in your grade 12 year.
