Help Students Succeed

Every day, BCIT students are working hard to build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

But achieving their goals can be challenging when they are facing financial stress, food insecurity, housing uncertainty, isolation, or mental health concerns. These realities can affect a student’s ability to focus, learn, and reach their full potential.

The BCIT Student Wellbeing Action Fund recognizes that student wellbeing is essential to student success. Your support helps provide students with the resources, programs, and services they need to navigate challenges, stay engaged in their studies, and achieve their educational goals.

Supporting the Whole Student

At BCIT, wellbeing extends beyond academic achievement. It includes emotional, mental, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual wellbeing, all of which play an important role in a student’s educational journey.

The Student Wellbeing Action Fund supports initiatives that:

Increase mental health and wellbeing resources
Address barriers such as food and housing insecurity
Create supportive and inclusive learning environments
Strengthen resilience and student success

The Difference You Can Make

Your gift can help a student access the support they need to stay focused on their education, overcome challenges, and pursue their passion

Together, we can help students access critical support, build meaningful connections, navigate challenges, and stay focused on their education and future careers.

When students feel supported, they are better equipped to succeed and realize their goals.

Invest in Student Success

A gift to the Student Wellbeing Action Fund helps create a healthier, more connected, and more supportive learning environment for BCIT students.

$50 can provide a student with nutritious food
$200 enables an aspiring trades professional to buy steel-toed boots
$500 can cover essential supplies needed to fully participate in their program
$1,000 supports emergency funding for learners struggling with affordability

I support the Student Wellbeing Action Fund because of my belief in applied education and the next generation of skilled technologists and leaders. BCIT equips graduates with job-ready skills in fields our communities rely on, and financial barriers should not stand in the way of bright, keen learners who strive to make a difference.
