Mary Thomas Memorial ECE Scholarship
Each year the BC Aboriginal Child Care Society (BCACCS) gives out the Mary Thomas Memorial ECE Scholarship in honour and fond memory of a highly respected Neskonlith Elder, Mary Thomas. BCACCS offers one $1000 scholarship for eligible Basic ECE students and one $1500 scholarship for eligible Post-Basic ECE students. This scholarship is awarded after you have completed your Basic or Post-Basic ECE certificate or diploma program. Our goal is to recognize and reward two Aboriginal ECE students each year for the highest overall achievement including; academic standing (at an approved educational institution and ECE program within British Columbia), outstanding accomplishments, volunteer work, community involvement, references, history of the applicant, as well as their ongoing commitment to childcare.
