BCCIE is pleased to continue its commitment to the diversification and inclusion of new and emerging international education practitioners in BC through the BCIEW Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Bursary. Bursaries will cover the cost of a full registration and will be awarded to new and emerging practitioners in international education who identify as Indigenous, First Nations or Métis Peoples, People of Colour, People with Disabilities, or members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community.

Please note that there are a limited number of bursaries available. We also ask that all bursary winners volunteer for one shift (three hours) during BCIEW.

  • Be a new or emerging practitioner in international education with less than five years of experience;

 

  • Self-identify as Indigenous, First Nations, Métis, a Person of Colour, a Person with disabilities, or a member of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community; and
