Allocations for the 2025-26 District/Authority scholarships are now available online. Districts are asked to submit their list of selected students to the ministry by June 30. Awarding guidelines support flexible, local decision making to help districts use their full allocation, recognize a broad range of student accomplishments, and support students as they transition to post-secondary study. Please ensure selected students are on track to meet eligibility requirements by August 31, and are aware that the award is conditional on those requirements being met on time.
- The most frequently misreported data that affects students’ scholarship eligibility are citizenship/permanent residency. Inaccurate reporting (including blank entries) will disqualify students.
- Make certain that eligible students don’t miss out on scholarships (including the BC Achievement) by ensuring they are being reported to the ministry with a value of ‘C’ and confirming that information on the student’s Transcript Verification Report.
- Encourage all Grade 12 students to register for a Student Transcripts Service account where confirmation notices for all four awards within the Provincial Scholarships Program will be posted this fall.
