- Bert Brink Scholarship
$2,500 to a graduate student “in a discipline which contributes to an awareness, appreciation, improved management of flora and fauna, conservation, restoration, and understanding of our natural environment.” - Rene Savenye Scholarship
$2000 to a post-secondary student “enrolled in an undergraduate degree program that contributes to awareness, appreciation, and understanding of our natural environment.”
Both scholarships include the following evaluation criterion (among others): “length of time volunteering in nature for BC Nature or a member club or another non-profit with focus on conservation.”
