| Beedie Luminaries offers a comprehensive scholarship program for Grade 12 students across British Columbia who face financial or other adversities, but have the academic readiness, grit, desire and potential to achieve their dreams and inspire others. Recipients will each receive up to $40,000 towards their post-secondary studies at any public university, college or trade school in B.C. This year, in light of the labour shortage within the skilled trades sector, we would like to particularly encourage students considering a career in the trades to apply. |
