While a post-secondary education can be life-changing, it’s a goal that’s out of reach for many students. We’re trying to change that. Every year, we award up to 20 scholarships, each one a maximum of $50,000 paid over five years of study, to students graduating from BC high schools. Scholarship recipients have faced adversity but have responded with positivity and tenacity, achieving academic and social goals. With hard work and support, their post-secondary dreams can become a reality.

  • Eligibility

    In order to be eligible for a TCF Scholarship, applicants must:

    • Be a current resident of BC

    • Have demonstrated financial need (total annual family income not exceeding $80,000)
    • Have faced adversity
    • Plan to be a full-time student
    • Be ineligible for the BC Tuition Waiver Program (for former youth in care)
