Please share this article with employees! The deadline for BCTA scholarship applications is July 31, 2024. It may seem like a lot of time, but please be aware that the top reason we reject a scholarship application is that it is incomplete. It takes time to prepare and obtain the required transcripts.

BCTA’s annual scholarships are open to applications from children of member company owners and employees. The following six scholarships are available to students entering their first year of post-secondary and for students entering their second or higher years of post-secondary in the academic year of 2024/25:

*The Kerry Winkler Memorial Scholarships have been established in memory of Kerry Winkler by his family and former employer, ColdFront. The Winkler family is providing a scholarship to a student entering their second year of post-secondary studies, and ColdFront is providing a scholarship to a student graduating from high school.

Each scholarship awards $1,250.
