The Premier's Excellence Award Program recognizes the top all-around graduating secondary students from the province's 15 college regions who are proceeding to full-time post secondary studies in BC. Each January a nomination form is sent to all secondary principals in the province. Principals are asked to give an application package to the student that they have selected and send the nomination form back to the Student Services Branch. Once the application packages are sent to the Student Services Branch applicants are assessed based on reference letters, grade 11 and 12 marks, community service and a hand written presentation. The selection committee determines the winners in late April. The Premier's Office notifies the successful applicants in late June. The successful applicants receive $5,000 and a Premier's Excellence Award Medal. Go to the Premier's Excellence Awards website. Go to the Premier's Excellence Awards application website. |
