Grads/Scholarships
Once the BC scholarship application forms are received, all applicants go through an interview process at finals and the scholarship committee distributes the scholarship funds to all the students that have applied as evenly as possible. They do not apply for any one particular scholarship, so unless an actual scholarship is designated for a certain winner (such as rookie or saddle bronc rider, etc.) they just apply for funds in general. The interview committee then distributes what funds are available.
Also, there are event scholarships in which, all event winners at BC Finals will receive $500 scholarships. So if a member wins an event in grade 9 ($500), nothing in grade 10, 2 events in grade 11 ($1,000) and 3 events in grade 12 ($1,500), they would be eligible for $3,500 in event scholarships when they show proof of enrollment in post secondary within 2 years following graduation.
