Can more funding for Burnaby-based SFU and BCIT programs help meet future in-demand jobs?
More students could soon look to Burnaby's two post-secondary schools for graduate programs thanks to a recent investment from the B.C. government.
The money is part of a scholarship funding expansion set to prepare graduate students for in-demand careers, according to a news release. "Through the StrongerBC: Future Ready Action Plan, we're supporting graduate students by significantly increasing graduate scholarships, making education more affordable and more accessible and helping set people up for success in our growing economy."The schools are two of 10 across the province to receive related funding from a pot of $15 million, which will add $2,500 to each new graduate scholarship award.
