APPLICATION FORMS:  

All application forms are posted in the Scholarship 25 Google classroom (all 2025 Grads will receive an invitation on February 12). 

To access the application forms, you must be using Google Chrome as a browser and be logged in to Google Chrome with your sd48 credentials (i.e. [email protected]).

 

INTERNAL SELECTION: Scholarship and Awards: ONLINE SUBMISSION ONLY via Google Forms. No transcripts, letters of reference or resumes are required nor will they be accepted. Separate Google Forms have been created for each item. Make sure you apply for the correct one. Google Forms will be submitted immediately but can be edited until the application closing time.

 

INTERNAL SELECTION – Bursaries:  Use the Google Doc form found in the Scholarship 25 Google classroom and submit it as a paper package to the office. Transcripts are not required and HSS teacher reference letters do not need to be on school letterhead.

 

 

EXTERNAL SELECTION – Scholarship, Bursaries, and Awards:  Use the Google Doc application form found in the Scholarship 2024 Google classroom and submit it as a paper package to the office. If you wish to attach a separate resume package, you must do one for each application. Additional application forms, if specified in the criteria, will be available online through our HSS website.  All external selection applications including all supporting documentation must be printed single-side only and attached with a paper clip (no staples). Applications that are not submitted in this manner will be returned to the applicant or incomplete packages may be sent to donors.   

 

 

Please ensure you use the correct form.  Applications on the wrong form will not be accepted.

Proof of registration is not required for the application process. It is required to redeem funds once awarded.

STUDENT TRANSCRIPT SERVICE

 

Student Transcript Service (STS) is an online application for students to view their school marks, scholarships and transcript, and send transcripts electronically.

You can use the StudentTranscripts service to:

  • View or order your secondary school transcript
  • Send your secondary school transcripts to post-secondary institutions
  • Order your graduation certificate
  • View your scholarships
  • View your provincial exam or graduation assessment results

 

STEP 1: Go to the Ministry of Education’s Transcript and Certificate web page at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/transcript.

STEP 2: Students must sign up for a BC Government account – a BCeID. Follow the system prompts and register for STS. Students will require their Personal Education Number  (PEN). Finally, log in to Student Transcript Service using the BCeID.

STEP 3:  From a student’s STS dashboard, make post-secondary institution selections, view transcripts, view assessment results and send transcripts immediately.
