External scholarships are scholarships you apply for outside of our school, where the pool of applicants is larger than just the local students in our school or District. There are too many scholarships in this category to list them all. You need to do some research on your own to find external scholarships that you can apply for.
Please contact one of our counsellors for any information, including scholarships deadlines: Dave Van Bergeyk (dvanberg@sd83.bc.ca) or Tanya Harrington (tharring@sd83.bc.ca ).
