The British Columbia Retired Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association (BCRPVPA) awards up to ten (10) bursaries/scholarships, in the amount of $1000 each, to students who graduate from the BC public school system and who are continuing their education at an accredited post-secondary institution. (Students planning a “gap year” should apply in the year in which they register in a post-secondary program.)
Applicants who are pursuing education in trades, technical and career fields, as well as those entering universities and colleges, are encouraged to apply. Applicants will be judged on their demonstrated
leadership and service activities within the school and community as well as academic skills. Financial need of applicants will also be a consideration.
A short essay (not more than a page) indicating leadership and service roles held in your school and community and your post-secondary aspirations. This essay could also include an indication of financial need.
A letter of reference from your school.
A letter of reference from a community organization that addresses your involvement with it.
