B.C. arts students enrolled in post-secondary studies are encouraged to send in their applications to be considered for grants of up to $6,000 through the BC Arts Council Scholarship Program.

Submissions received must be post-marked no later than Monday, April 30.

The BC Arts Council Scholarship Program supports B.C.’s emerging professional artists to develop their skills by assisting with the costs of post-secondary, pre-professional training. B.C. residents attending full-time studies in a fine arts diploma or degree program at a recognized post-secondary institution, in any country, may apply. B.C. students enrolled in half-day dance programs in connection with their high school may also be eligible to apply.

The BC Arts Council’s scholarship awards are offered to students pursuing an education in a wide range of arts disciplines, including arts administration, community-based arts practice, museology, creative writing, conservation, dance, media arts, theatre, music, curatorial practice and visual arts.
