Kamloops School of the Arts Scholarships and Bursaries

There are a number of scholarships and bursaries available each year to graduating students at Kamloops School of the Arts. These awards may be: school, district, ministry, or university-based, in addition to an extensive list of scholarships/bursaries offered by organizations either at a local, provincial, national or international level. Awards are not based solely on academics; some are intended to recognize students who excel in applied skills, fine arts, modern languages, athletics, trades and technology, community service, and indigenous language and culture.

We encourage graduating students to begin preliminary research of any scholarship and bursary opportunity they are interested in. In doing so, students should carefully observe any criteria associated to an award, and note all closing dates.  Most scholarship/bursary applications are due May 1st of each year, however, there are some award applications that are due as early on as October and November of the school year. Students should also consider visiting the websites of any universities they may be considering to check for financial support information.

Our Counsellor is dedicated to assisting graduating students with navigating, filtering, and organizing scholarship/bursary information, as well as assistance with application forms.

Scholarship applications packages should be completed in full and accompanied by any additional requested information.

Some scholarship/bursary applications are available through the School District 73 website. Please be advised that the following scholarships are not available until March of each school year.
