Lester B. Pearson College Of The Pacific

Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific
The Yukon Department of Education sponsors one student per year for a 2-year period to attend Lester B. Pearson College (Victoria). Applicants should have completed grade 11 and will take grade 12 and 13 at the College culminating in the International Baccalaureate examination.

The Yukon government places a high value on offering the best opportunities available for Yukon students. This is why we are continuing to offer the Pearson scholarship to help the recipient broaden his or her horizons and develop leadership skills in this culturally diverse environment.

Yukon is involved in this cross-Canada initiative to ensure that at least one student from every province and territory attends Pearson College each year.
This scholarship is valued at $68,000 over two years, and it reflects one of many opportunities and programs in the multiple pathways available to Yukon students.

Visit the website www.pearsoncollege.ca for more information, application options and procedures. Yukon school counsellors can also provide information. The application deadline is February 15 each year.
