How Setting Up an Award Works

We want your scholarship to run as smoothly as possible. That’s why we’ll place your educational award with a team experienced in award management. This is your Award Administrator, and is usually a school district, college, or university.
The Award Administrator will take care of:

• Conducting a fair selection process
• Promoting the award
• Accepting applications
• Selecting recipients

You role is to decide:

• Who and what kinds of achievements you want to support
• Your fund’s value (minimum $10,000)
• Your scholarship’s value
• If you want to be involved in selecting recipients and presenting the award

Vancouver Foundation will look after:

• Monitoring your fund
• Update award details
• Finding opportunities to maximize the award’s impact
