The Rotary Club of Whistler is very proud to help Whistler's Youth continue their education through a series of two scholarships. They are awarded each year during the Whistler Secondary Graduation ceremony.
Bob Brown/Richard Heine Award
Value $1,000
Awarded to a student from Whistler Secondary School who is planning to enter a post-secondary institution in the field of engineering or the trades. The applicant must demonstrate contributions to school and/or community service. Bob Brown was a former president of the Whistler Rotary Club.
The Bob Brown scholarship was originally set up to give first access to a Whistler/Pemberton student taking post-secondary education (University or technical school such as BCIT) in the fields of Survey (now also known as geomatics) and/or Engineering. Currently the scholarship is open to Whistler Secondary School students. Based on marks and community/extracurricular involvement.
