Scholarship photo sign.jpg​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Grade 12s/ Class of 2026: Scholarships and bursaries will be added and updated constantly from September to June. Some very early deadlines usually fall into September, but it's definitely worth checking back throughout the school year. Also check the post-secondary institutions you are applying to - deadlines vary (UBC Entrance Scholarships: December 1, SFU Entrance Scholarships: December 15. Douglas College Scholarships: late March). 

If you are unsure if a scholarship could be a good match for you, let's chat about it. Drop in anytime.

*Don't forget to ask your parents/ family members if they know of scholarships (i.e., employers, unions, homeowner associations, community associations, banks and insurance companies). Also check with your own employer, sports club, etc.​​​​​

Tentative dates for 2025/26:

  • Charles Best General Scholarship Session1: Wed, October 8, after school (library)
  • Charles Best Internal Scholarship Package Session: Wed, February 18, after school (library) *This will include the District Authority Scholarships provided by the Ministry of Education
