Pacific Leaders
The BC Public Service is a great place to build a career – and it just got better
We’re investing in BC’s public service to ensure that our talented and dedicated employees are supported to even higher levels of innovation and achievement. Here’s what you can look forward to when you become a valued employee of the BC Public Service:
Loan Forgiveness
Dedicate a portion of your career to the BC Public Service after graduation and we'll show our commitment to you by forgiving your BC Student Loan at the rate of one third of the total per year. That means after three years of service your total BC Student Loan will be forgiven. This also applies to current full-time or part-time regular employees who have a BC Student Loan in good standing.
Graduate Student Fellowships
The Pacific Leaders Graduate Student Fellowship will attract top-quality researchers to the BC Public Service while supporting research that benefits the province and addresses areas of skill shortage. Up to 20 fellowships of $20,000 each will be awarded each year to master's and PhD students, and Fellows have a career waiting for them in the BC Public Service when they graduate.
Scholarships for Public Servants
We will support you in your quest to build a rewarding and dynamic career. Across the BC Public Service, employees now have access to scholarships of up to $7,500 to cover at least 75% tuition and books coverage for programs aligned with government's current and future skill needs.
Scholarships for Children of Public Servants
Each year, up to 60 scholarships of $2,500 each will be offered to children of public servants who are full-time students taking a bachelor's degree program, trade, technical or vocational training.
