BCCIE maintains its commitment to the professional development of new and emerging international education practitioners. In order to encourage participation in this year’s Seminar by those who may not otherwise be able to attend the conference, BCCIE has expanded its Seminar bursary program. Bursaries will cover the full registration costs for international educators. Pre-conference workshops costs are not included. Participants will still need to cover transportation and accommodation costs.

Please note that in order to be considered for a bursary, registrants must complete a Summer Seminar Bursary Application before April 30, 2012. Selected bursary recipients will be selected by committee and will be notified in mid-May.
