How does it work?

• As a student for a day, you'll pair up with a BCIT mentor student who's currently enrolled in a participating full-time technology or trades programs.

While experiences will differ from program to program, as a student for a day you will:

• Spend a half day at BCIT (morning or afternoon visit, subject to program availability)
• Attend an instructor-led lecture and lab alongside real students
• Experience what BCIT campus life is really like

BCIT requires one full week's notice to organize your Spend A Day visit. Dates may vary and are based on program availability.

In addition to providing students with the most efficient way to find scholarships that they are eligible for, we wanted to give them insight from students who have walked their path before. That is why we created the ScholarTree Blog

We know that the holiday break is the prime time when students decide which University/College they want to attend next year. That is why recently our blog has featured first-hand accounts from students of how they got accepted into some of the more selective programs.  See Location/Links column in this row for linked pages.

Doctor of Pharmacy - Entry to Practice.

This is not a direct entry from high school. You must complete at least 2 years of undergrad coursework (min. 60 credits including pre-requisite courses) and then apply to the Pharma D program. This can be in science or PharmaSci as long as you complete pre-requisites.
