The BCcampus Professional Learning Grant was created to provide B.C. public post-secondary educators with more equitable access to funding for professional development related to creating excellent learning experiences and environments for diverse student groups.

We invite research proposals from B.C. post-secondary students who are committed to exploring and improving student learning and eager to conduct and share research with others. 

For this call, only projects with student lead researchers will be considered.
