Columbia Valley Community Foundation (CVCF) continues to support youth with more than $150,000 earmarked for scholarships and bursaries this year.
Awards can be applied to accredited educational or training programs, therefore, students attending universities, colleges, technical and trade schools should apply.
To fulfill donor wishes, applicants must have spent their formative (K-12) years in the Columbia Valley, defined as the area stretching from Spillimacheen to Canal Flats.
“These awards are not just for new high school graduates heading off to college or university,” explains CVCF Executive Director Thiloma Hofer.
“Community members are eligible to receive awards twice in their lifetime and can apply between the ages of 17 and 35. So, if you have embarked on a new career and are retraining, we encourage you to investigate this opportunity.”
The Arnold Ellis Scholarships, Bidder Bursary and Erwin Kloos Memorial Scholarship are applicable to any field of study. The Alan J. Witherspoon Memorial Fine Arts Fund provides support to those pursuing fine arts.
The deadline for applications is May 15 at 11:59 p.m. For further information and the online application link, please visit: www.valleyfoundation.ca.
