BCTA’s annual scholarship program is now open, and we encourage eligible students connected to our Motor Carrier and Associate Members to apply.
If you have employees with children heading to post-secondary in the 2026/27 academic year, now is the time to share this opportunity. And if you know someone who may qualify, please help us spread the word!
Scholarships are available for students entering their first year of post-secondary studies, as well as those continuing into their second year or beyond. Each scholarship is valued at $1,250.
Available awards include:
For students entering first year post-secondary (2026/27):

- Associate Member Award
- Kerry Winkler Memorial Award
For students entering second year or higher post-secondary (2026/27):

The Kerry Winkler Memorial Scholarships were established in memory of Kerry Winkler by his family and ColdFront, his former employer. One scholarship is awarded to a high school graduate entering first year post-secondary, funded by ColdFront, and one is awarded to a returning student entering at least second year, funded by the Winkler family.
The deadline to apply is July 31, 2026.
