Spring 2026 Student Awards recap

On Friday, May 8, 2026, Vancouver Community College (VCC) proudly celebrated student achievement during the Spring Student Awards ceremonies.

Hosted by the VCC Foundation and Financial Aid, the ceremonies recognized outstanding students receiving scholarships, bursaries, and awards made possible through the generosity of VCC donors and community supporters. The events also offered recipients the opportunity to meet and personally thank the donors whose support is helping them pursue their educational goals.

The morning event celebrated students from the Centre for Continuing Studies, the School of Health Sciences, and the School of Hospitality, Food Studies and Applied Business. The afternoon welcomed students from the Centre for Educational Excellence, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Trades, Technology and Design, along with other areas across the college community.

Throughout the ceremonies, students shared inspiring stories of resilience, determination, and academic success — highlighting the meaningful impact donor support has on VCC students. Donors also shared why they choose to give back and support VCC students through philanthropy.

The VCC Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to its many donors, partners, and supporters whose continued generosity helps remove barriers and create opportunities for students to thrive. This spring, we distributed $294,500 to 261 students pursuing their educational goals.
