Each year, the BCNF offers $500 in education awards to individuals living with NF who are entering, or are in post-secondary program. These awards can be applied towards tuition, on-campus housing, or any other academic expense. To be eligible, a student must be 17 years or older, a Canadian citizen or have landed immigrant status, and a current member of the BCNF. The education awards are given on the basis of educational commitment, volunteer work, and other achievements or interests.

The deadline to apply is May 31, 2012. All supporting letters and documents must be completed and received in order to be eligible. You can download the 2012 Education Award application here.

We are proud to have supported students in past years and look forward to contributing to the success of many more each year.

BCNF educational award has a helped me immensely with my education. I’ve completed my post secondary education, and now I’m beginning my career as a sound designer. In August I’ll be in Scotland, working as head sound designer on theatrical production for one of the worlds largest theatre festivals, The Fringe Festival. With out the love, support and generosity of BCNF, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
