Text: The Entomological Society of British Columbia annually awards a scholarship of $1000 to support the participation of one graduate student from a group currently underrepresented within the ESBC. Funds may be used at the student’s discretion. Applications should be submitted to the ESBC Secretary at secretary@entsocbc.ca by September 21st, 2022. Competition results will be announced at the AGM!

At the ESBC we believe that all should be welcome and included in the entomological community. Sadly, in entomology, and STEM in general, this is not the case. As one step we are taking forward, the ESBC is pleased to announce our new Equity Diversity and Inclusion Award. We hope this award will help reduce some of the barriers faced by those historically excluded from entomology. Please apply!
