The BCITSA, as a registered charity, can accept donations (either cash or gifts-in-kind) from individuals and/or companies. We are always looking for prizing and giveaways at our events. Additionally, the BCITSA works on a number of initiatives that help us invest in our student members annually.
Laurie Jack Award
Laurie Jack was President of the BCITSA from 1971-1972. Tragically, he died in an airplane crash in 1975. Together, his parents and the BCITSA have sponsored two $500 annual awards in his honour. These awards are given to two students in the graduating year who have contributed to student life at BCIT and have been nominated by another BCIT community member (staff, faculty or student). Due Date for Application is April 30, 2011.
Student Initiative Fund
The Student Initiative fund is a program which allows BCIT students to apply for financial assistance to take part in extracurricular activities related to their career. Common application includes management and leadership training, professional development, and skill development workshops. This school year’s due dates for SIF are October 15, 2010, January 14, 2011, and April 15, 2011.
The Distinguished Representative Award
Reps are eligible for the Distinguished Representative Award. The award will be given to a deserving Rep that has gone above and beyond the duties of a Rep. Each School will give out one award of $500 per year to the selected Reps.
The Silver Pen Award
The Silver Pen award is presented to an outstanding Link student newspaper staff member or volunteer. Award recipients are chosen annually based on their excellence in journalism and leadership.
BCITSA Donations Policy governs the solicitation, acceptance and stewardship of all donations to BCITSA and BCITSA Student Clubs. Its purpose is to ensure that all facets of BCITSA remain compliant with the Income Tax Act and Revenue Canada-established practices and standards.
