government of British Columbia has attempted to reflect the charitable intentions of the
original benefactors.
Since 1989, the Fund has provided annual bursaries to individuals who meet the requirements

path through their educational goals.

placed in the permanent or continuing custody of the Province of British Columbia. The

prior to attaining the age of 19 years.);

School District No. 87 (Stikine) Scholarship Handbook 2012/2013General Scholarship Tips
• Survey the range of scholarships available.
• Determine which scholarships are realistically available by consulting the
application criteria and deadlines pertinent to each scholarship.
• Maintain a high Grade Point Average (GPA). Note those scholarships for which
candidates are screened according to GPA. (In some cases the relevant GPA may
be based on grades achieved in a specialty area over a two-year period.)
• Begin the application procedure early in the school year (September, or no later
than October). The process of acquiring an application form, completing the
form, gathering letters of reference and recommendations, and returning all
relevant documents can take a considerable length of time. Remember that
applications for out-of-province scholarships may take extra time to complete.
• Chart the scholarships for which you intend to apply, making special note of the
deadlines for each. This exercise will help you establish your own personal
timeline.
• Apply for as many scholarships as possible. Note those for which you can make
one application for several scholarships and those for which you must apply
individually.
• Apply for a Canadian Social Insurance Number (SIN) if you do not have one.
Recipients of scholarships are often required to have one.
• Prepare a letter of application early in the school year. Review and rewrite this
letter a number of times throughout the year. In many cases, the initial screening
of candidates will be based on the letter of application. Make sure you keep a
copy of the letter for future reference.
32 | P a g e
School District No. 87 (Stikine) Scholarship Handbook 2012/2013Writing Scholarship Letters of Application
The content of your letter should follow the format suggested by the individual
institution. Make certain that the letter is neat and legible and use 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper,
one side only. Include all relevant information, paying attention to details specified on
the application forms. Keep the tone of the letter businesslike - be straight forward and
concise. This letter should usually contain:
• a brief outline of your interests, hobbies, and activities;
• a brief summary of positions and offices held by you in school, youth
organizations, and the community;
• a short statement of your purposes in seeking to attend a post-secondary
institution;
• information concerning awards, scholarships, and prizes you have won in any
field;
• Details of your employment in the last two years (including part-time and
summer employment).
