BCGA 2021 Scholarship Winners Announced

The BCGA is thrilled to announce the results of the 2021 scholarship competition. This was the fifth year of BCGA scholarships and we received 18 applications for the two available awards. All of the applications were very compelling and this year was by far the most competitive. A panel of six BCGA directors came to a consensus on this year’s recipients.

Many factors came together to allow us (The BC General Aviation Association) to offer these scholarships.

1. Generous contributions by the late Erissa Yong & Dr. Harshbir Toor.
2. A strong and productive partnership with our affiliate organization The BC Aviation Council.

We wish to thank all those that applied for the awards and encourage those that did not apply and those that were not chosen this year to submit an application for the 2022 awards.
