Spring 2024 Bursary Application Form

Applications are invited from qualified students for the Spring 2024 NPESC bursaries. Four C$1,500 bursaries and one C$1,000 (Brian Silvester bursary for a student at WMI) will be awarded to applicants enrolled in Nautical Science or Marine Engineering courses of a minimum length of 250 hours at a training institution approved by Transport Canada and registered with the British Columbia government.
