General Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The BC Foundation Scholarship application has an essay style format with seven short answer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your responses to these questions are your chance to share your story and give reviewers an opportunity to see how a scholarship would help you achieve your stated educational and professional goals. Your responses will provide evidence of your intellectual and creative achievements, and show your writing ability. This is how the reader of your application will gain the strongest feel for who you are as a person and see what sets you apart from other applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your responses should be treated as the equivalent of a face-to-face interview. A well-written response adds clarity, richness, and meaning to the information collected in other parts of your application. It is also an opportunity to explain how factors outside your school environment have enhanced or impeded your ability to maximize available academic and intellectual opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning Applicants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a returning applicant, you will need to provide answers to the short answer questions again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
