It is important to carefully look through your application to ensure that it reflects your most recent academic and personal journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, there are several sections of the application that you will definitely need to update. These include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GPA <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of units completed to date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short Answer Responses, which need to be updated to reflect the development of your educational journey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, this application tip is not intended to be an exhaustive checklist but rather to assist you through the re-submission process each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More About BC Foundation Scholarships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to make the application process as easy for you as possible.
