IESBC Offering Two Scholarships for 2019

March 8, 2019

The $2,000 Vision Scholarships is available to dependents of personnel of current IES BC Section members in good standing and to current student members of the IESNA. The $2,000 Kay Ferguson Scholarship is available to a current IES Emerging Professional member or a Student member in good standing.

Vision Scholarship applicants must be attending or planning to attend an accredited college, university, or post secondary institute on a full time basis. They are not required to attend school in British Columbia.

The Kay Ferguson Scholarship Award is in honour of Kay Ferguson for her contribution of over 50 years to IES and the BC Section. Kay is one of those special people who contribute her time without question or without strings attached, says IESBC. She has served the IES nationally as Regional Vice President from 1997 to 2000. Besides her section duties, she was on the Regional Board of Managers for the more than 10 years and has been an IIDA Awards International Judge 4 times.

The application deadline for both scholarships is April 26, 2019. Find out more: www.iesbc.org/education.
