Local Scholarships & Bursaries

 

Local scholarships & bursaries are offered to our students, thanks to the generous support of several different organizations and individuals in the Cowichan Valley. Each year we update our scholarship & bursary awards and meet with our grade 12 students at the beginning of February for an orientation on how to apply. Information sessions for 2024 are held in the library during Thrive: Feb. 1, 2024 (Zoom) and Thurs. Feb. 15th.

Below is a list of local awards offered to Cowichan Secondary School students.

Award information is now current for 2024.
