APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2010 GRANTING PROGRAM.

The BC Technology Scholarship Fund supports the development of BC's technology workforce of the future.

The technology-sector can only be as successful when it possesses the right mix of talent development and skilled worker attraction. The BC Technology Industry Association acknowledged this need in 2005 and responded by establishing The BC Technology Scholarship Fund.

This industry-funded program provides non-repayable grants to students who have a proven passion for technology that are studying in a variety of traditional technical fields such as engineering or computer science and in non-traditional fields such as marketing, sales, and product development and project management.

2010 Grant Amounts
• 2 X $2,500 for University or College Students
• 6 X $500 for Grade 12 Graduates
