Columbia Basin Trust’s College Community Service Awards are designed to assist Basin students, who have taken a hiatus of at least one year after completing high school, in pursuing post-secondary education/training in the region, and to reward and encourage the volunteerism of Columbia Basin residents.

Volunteer service refers to a significant contribution of time, energy and/or talent that fosters social, environmental or economic well-being without resulting in a financial benefit to the applicant.
Twenty-two awards valued at $2,000 each are available: ten for students attending Selkirk College, ten for College of the Rockies, one for Revelstoke Centre of the Okanagan College, and one for Valemount Campus of the College of New Caledonia.
Who Can Apply:
Basin residents planning to attend college after a hiatus of more than one year from high school and enrolling full-time in a recognized undergraduate program leading to a degree, diploma or certificate at College of the Rockies, Selkirk College, the Valemount Campus of College of New Caledonia and the Revelstoke Centre of the Okanagan College.

The Community Development Program has both a large (over $10,000) and small (under $10,000) granting stream. It is designed as a way to assist CBT working in partnership with communities to develop projects and/or initiatives which build on a shared community vision for the future. It is not a grants program in the normal sense of the word. The criteria are purposefully left open and flexible to accommodate the broad range of ideas and projects which come from working with communities in moving towards their goals. CBT can bring a range of resources to the partnerships with money being only one contribution. The funds available through the Community Development Program are meant to assist communities in building on existing strengths.
Who Can Apply:
Registered non-profit organizations, aboriginal bands, school districts, local government and recreation commissions, and others that may be applicable at CBT’s discretion.
How to Apply:
Applicants must contact a Columbia Basin Trust Community Liaison in your geographic area who will determine the eligibility of the project and then assist the applicant(s) though the process. All Community Liaisons can be reached at CBT’s at 1.800.505.8998.
Deadline for Applications:
This is a continuous intake program. There are no deadlines for applications, but applications are reviewed six times per year.
