For the Ike Barber Transfer scholarships, a student is considered to be transferring if:

• They have accumulated at least 54 credits in transferable courses at a B.C. public college, and
• Are enrolled at another B.C. public post-secondary institution that will confer the degree for the program when all remaining requirements are completed.

Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to students who:

• Are residents of B.C., defined as having your primary residency at an address in the province for at least the past 12 months.

(Two years is defined as successful completion of at least 54 credits, or equivalent, in transferable courses. Information on transferability of credits is available through the BC Transfer Guide).
• Have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 or equivalent for the 54 transferable credits completed, as calculated by the sending institution. Scholarship awards are contingent upon confirmation of final grades. (To learn the equivalent of a 3.5 GPA at your institution, please contact your financial awards office.)

• Are accepted into the program of study at the B.C. public degree-granting institution into which they are applying for admission as a transfer student; and
