BCIT Internal Funding Opportunities

Developing institutional excellence

BCIT has a number of internal funding opportunities to enable innovative projects by faculty and staff. The funds provide for projects in the areas of teaching, learning, research and technological innovation. The funding is primarily used to fund faculty and staff time and cover project costs such as supplies or travel.

PD funds can be used to supplement these funds – PD Funds Hub. (Staff resource only; please log into the Intranet.)
