What it means to win a BCSF bursary...
"The Bursary gave me two things, recognition and freedom; recognition for my hard work; freedom to be able to study and not worry. I could focus my energy with great momentum and positive attitude."

How Scholarship/Bursary Recipients Are Chosen
- Each application is evaluated by an Evaluation Committee comprising five persons, of whom three are selected from the community and two from the Black Canadian Scholarship Fund Committee.
- This Evaluation Committee recommends four candidates for an award.
- The four candidates are interviewed by an Interview Committee comprising three members of the BSCF Committee.
- The Interview Committee selects three of the four candidates and recommends them for a scholarship/bursary. It also names the candidate who qualifies for the Founders Award.
- The BCSF Committee or Executive Board will make the final decision to award the scholarships/bursaries for the given year to the three recommended candidates.
