Grade 12 Essay Scholarship
The Essay Scholarship provides financial assistance to students planning to pursue a teaching career. This year the BCSSA will award seven scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each. Students wishing to be considered must be currently enrolled in their final year of studies at a BC public secondary school and expected to graduate in 2009. In addition to submitting an essay, applicants must provide a transcript of grades and two letters of reference attesting to school/community leadership. One scholarship winner for an essay written in English will be selected in each of the BCSSA's six regional chapters by a committee of educators. One province-wide scholarship winner for an essay written in French will be selected by a committee of francophone educators.
The topic for this year's Grade 12 Essay Scholarship is "Student Engagement: Creating and Maintaining Engagement in a Rapidly Changing World".
