Million Dollar Bursary

Criteria

We are excited to share that, following the recent merger between Interior Savings and Gulf & Fraser, we are now able to extend the Million Dollar Bursary Program across the entire province! Our mission remains steadfast: to support the young people in our communities by investing in their education and future success.

The Million Dollar Bursary Program, originally launched by Interior Savings Credit Union in 2014, has made a significant impact over the years. With more than $4.5 million awarded since its inception, the program has been instrumental in helping students manage their finances responsibly and graduate from post-secondary education in a stronger financial position.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact of the Million Dollar Bursary Program as it continues to grow and support students across British Columbia.
