PSAC BC congratulates the winners of this year’s regional scholarships, and thanks all those who applied! The 2026 program will re-open in May with new guidelines and application forms.
This year’s recipients were selected from several of applications from PSAC members and their families. Awards were granted based on the merit of an essay, video, infographic, song, or other creative submission. Dependent submissions spoke about what solidarity means to them and how youth can contribute to building fiar and just workplaces for the future.
