The Pacific Leaders graduate fellowship program is a valuable part of the government’s strategy to support the recruitment goals of the BC Public Service by helping attract talented new employees, while also benefiting from their research into areas of interest to the Province. The spring enrolment of the fellowship has been postponed while constructive feedback from post-secondary partners offering potentials for improvement of the program is examined. All students currently participating in the fellowship program will continue forward in the program, and will be welcomed into the public service as they complete their research and begin their careers. Received applications will not be further adjudicated and arrangements will be made to have them returned to dean of graduate studies at your institution. Please check back for updates on the status of the program. Please contact AVED.SpecialPrograms6@gov.bc.ca for any questions.
