The BCGA is thrilled to announce the results of the 2019 scholarship competition. This was the second year of BCGA scholarships and we received 12 applications for the two available awards. All of the applications were very compelling. A panel of three BCGA directors came to a consensus on this year's recipients. 

Many factors came together to allow us (The BC General Aviation Association) to offer these scholarships. 
​

1. Generous contributions by Erissa Yong & Dr. Harshbir Toor.
2. A strong and productive partnership with our affiliate organization The BC Aviation Council.

The recipients are being announced today September 10th and the awards will be officially presented at the BC Aviation Council's Silver Wings Awards Gala on October 24th. 

We wish to thank all those that applied for the awards and encourage those that did not apply and those that were not chosen this year to submit an application for the 2020 awards.
