Returning business students at Okanagan College will benefit from a new financial award established by the Chartered General Accountants of B.C. Educational Foundation.
The foundation award is the result of a $100,000 donation to the Okanagan College Foundation and was created to encourage education and research in accounting, auditing and related disciplines.
The scholarship will annually assist one or more students in need, those pursuing research projects and will promote the field of accounting generally.
In acknowledgement of this partnership, Okanagan College will recognize CGA-BC through a named classroom in its new Centre for Learning at the Kelowna campus.
“The goal of the CGA-BC Educational Foundation is to assist students in financial need and to promote excellence in professional accounting and related disciplines,” said Pamela Skinner, director of Member Services for CGA-BC.
To qualify for the award, students must complete two or more years of full-time study in the Business Administration program at any campus of Okanagan College and be returning for a subsequent year of full-time study in the program.
Recipients will be selected based on a combination of academic achievement and financial need, and will be in good academic standing.
