We recognize it takes a combination of both hard work and educational funding for most students to achieve their goal of a post-secondary education. That's why we've developed a scholarship fund to help encourage student funding and interest in food protection in BC.

For this year, one scholarship will be available in the amount of $1000 and will be awarded to one BCFPA student member who meets the criteria. The student selected to receive the scholarship award must attend a future BCFPA event to receive the Scholarship Award Certificate. It is intended that the 2024 Scholarship Awards be presented at our Annual General Meeting in January/February 2025.

To be considered for the scholarship award, please fill out the application form and email your application and essay to the BCFPA Vice President at info@bcfoodprotection.ca

Applications must be submitted no later than December 15, 2024. The winning recipient to be awarded the Scholarship Award will be contacted before the AGM.
