Support for BCIT Students

The Retirees’ Association established an the BCITRA Endowment Fund to generate interest on invested capital that could be used to provide bursaries for BCIT students.

Sources of the Endowment Fund come from:

  • Direct legacy giving in members’ wills
  • Patronage dividends from supporting agencies
  • Contributions from membership fees in excess of operating needs

Managed by the BCIT Foundation, the Endowment Fund has grown in recent years, generating interest to provide two bursaries of $1,350 each per year to BCIT students. More than 35 bursaries have been awarded over time.

We regularly receive letters of appreciation from bursary recipients and praise from the Foundation about the Endowment Fund. A recent letter said “Your support encourages students to achieve their dreams”. It fulfills our dreams as well.
