PATHWAY TO SUCCESS AWARDS
BCIT Pathway to Success Awards are for students planning to enter into a full-time first year technology, technical studies or trade program (excluding Apprentice) directly from high school.
The intent of these awards is to recognize students who are well-rounded citizens, who have displayed leadership qualities, and have demonstrated that they are willing to work hard to achieve their goals. Commitment and drive are as important as formal academic standing.
How to apply:
Deadline is Friday, March 31, 2017.
See Ms. Falsetto with any questions.

Did you attend Seaforth Elementary School? If yes, this scholarship might be yours!
A successful candidate must be able to demonstrate how they provide leadership to younger members of the community as well as partnership with elder members in the same community. The student will demonstrate that a true leader guides those who need to know, while, at the same time, learns the value in the ability to follow and learn from others.
In a 500 word essay, the eligible students must demonstrate how they have exemplified these qualities. While we encourage all to apply, we are looking for students that have gone outside of the home or classroom to make a difference in the community and make this community a better place to live.
Please include a brief letter of support for this scholarship from a teacher or a school/community official.

The Stacey Levitt Memorial Award was created in memory and celebration of her life. On August 30, 1995, Stacey was struck and killed by a car while jogging in North Toronto. She was only 18 years old.
Stacey loved life, and this annual student award encourages Canadian youth to embody Stacey’s qualities and ideals, and the overarching Parachute goal to live a long life to the fullest while maintaining an approach that is rooted in risk management and injury prevention. The selected recipient will receive $2,500 to do just that.
