About Douglas College and the Scholarship:

Douglas College, the largest public college in British Columbia, Canada that grants degrees, is pleased to announce the opening of applications for Douglas College Scholarships. This institution boasts a diverse student body, with 4,210 international students, 8,500 continuing education students, and nearly 17,000 credit students. Founded in 1970, the college is named after Sir James Douglas, a former governor of British Columbia. Douglas College offers bachelor’s degrees, traditional university courses in the humanities and sciences, business programs, and vocational training in creative arts. In January 2020, Douglas College unveiled its coat of arms, designed by Coast Salish artist Carrie Lynn Victor, making it the first time an Indigenous artist has wholly created a Canadian institution’s emblem. The insignia features a crowned heart, reminiscent of the Douglas family’s coat of arms, and reflects the college’s motto, “Do what you love.” The college’s athletic teams, known as the Royals, are represented by Roary the Lion, the school mascot. The Royals participate in various sports, including baseball, softball, basketball, curling, golf, soccer, and volleyball.

The Douglas College Scholarship, established in 2017, aims to recruit international undergraduate athletes to Douglas College, assist them with their financial requirements, and bridge the gap in tuition fees between international and domestic students. Successful candidates will be selected based on their academic performance during the academic year. A maximum of 5 qualified recipients will be chosen each academic year, with equal distribution of awards between the Fall and Winter semesters.
