Springboard to Success Scholarship Fund
INVESTING IN OUR YOUTH, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR FUTURE
The Prince George Community Foundation is working with School District No. 57 (Prince George) to increase the scholarship opportunities for students graduating in Prince George, McBride, Mackenzie and Valemount.
Springboard to Success Scholarship Fund is an endowment established by the school board and foundation.
The income earned by the fund provides scholarships for graduating secondary school students. The principal remains in the fund to guarantee new scholarships each year.
The fund supports the Prince of Wales Scholarship, the Don Thorlakson Memorial Award, The Gairett MacIver Memorial Bursary, AL Ford Memorial Scholarship and several annual Springboard Scholarships.
UNBC will match the value of the Springboard Scholarship if the student enrolls at UNBC. In addition, UNBC will match the value of the Prince of Wales Scholarship and the Don Thorlakson Memorial Award.
Why Scholarships?
- For many students, the cost of schooling beyond Grade 12 is prohibitive.
- Costs of attending a college, university or other training institute continue to rise.
- The community benefits when graduates further their education beyond secondary school.
