Passport To Education

What is the Passport to Education?

The government of British Columbia designed a program to financially reward a limited number of high achieving students in grades 10-12 by giving them credit towards tuition at most post-secondary institutions. The actual number of Passport Awards can fluctuate from year to year and is determined by enrollment and Ministry of Education guidelines. All students' passports are kept in the school office until they finish school, at which time they may be collected.
