Four-Year Scholarship Guarantee Created

February 12, 2007
Students looking to pursue a university education at UNBC are now eligible to receive up to $8,000 as part of a new scholarship program that will provide a financial pay-out for each year of a bachelor's degree program.
Unlike many scholarships, which provide a financial award for students in their first year of study, the new UNBC program is spread out over four years, giving students greater certainty over the multi-years costs of attending university.  There are three levels - $8,000, $6,000, and $4,000 - and applications from students are now being accepted.

The first recipients were announced today at a student information session in Terrace:
  • Nathan Froese is graduating from Caledonia Secondary in Terrace
  • Brandon Haldane is Student Council President at Charles Hays Secondary in Prince Rupert
  • Patrick Law is currently attending Prince Rupert Secondary 
Each is receiving a $6,000 award ($1500 per year for four years) and each is planning to attend UNBC in September.
The four-year scholarship guarantee was developed by UNBC President, Don Cozzetto.
