Returning business students at Okanagan College will benefit from a new financial award established by the CGA-BC Educational Foundation.
The 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.
“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, with the CGA-BC.
“The trustees are very excited about this opportunity to partner with our North Okanagan Chapter in establishing an endowment fund with the Okanagan College Foundation, leveraging the Educational Foundation’s strength in this vibrant community.”
In order to qualify for the award, students will have completed two or more years of full-time study in the Business Administration program at any campus of Okanagan College and will 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.
