The British Columbia Association of Broadcasters is pleased to provide a discretionary bursary to “up and coming” broadcasters who may be struggling considering the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Purpose of the bursary is to allow BCAB member companies to recommend intern or work placement broadcasters a stipend to help them pay for their living expenses as they earn valuable experience as a broadcaster.

The criteria is based on the following:

• The student must be working in a paid or unpaid capacity at a BCAB member station
• The student should have graduated from a post-secondary institution in a broadcast or communications program
• The student must be a Canadian Citizen or permanent resident of Canada
• The institution does NOT have to be a BC based school. The BCAB recognizes that many students from other provinces endeavor to start their careers in our province.
• The recommendation must come from a supervisor or manager within the organization
• The bursary will be paid directly to the individual, not the company
• There are a limited amount of funds available through the remainder of 2020
• The funds will be distributed as the applications are filled out, there is no specific application deadline
