SD33 FINANCIAL AWARDS PROGRAM
The choice to continue with Post Secondary education after high school is an exciting time in a students life, however the costs associated with post-secondary education continue to grow.
There are many Financial Awards available to students from sources such as local community businesses and service organizations, the British Columbia Ministry of Education and Child Care, Post Secondary Institutions and other organizations and foundations. All offer various levels of support to graduating students seeking to pursue post secondary education.
Each Secondary School in Chilliwack has dedicated career staff and counselors to assist students who wish to learn about and apply for local, provincial and national awards and guide your search. Make an appointment with them by your mid Grade 11 year.
The Chilliwack School District is committed to promoting and providing equity, diversity and inclusion for our students and staff. Without discrimination and in particular regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity, sexual identity, mental or physical disability, we encourage all students to apply to any award that they meet the criteria for.
