Scholarships

We are updating the GOA Association’s scholarship application schedule to better align with the academic year.  This adjustment aims to streamline the process and give students sufficient time to complete their applications.

We encourage all eligible students to apply and urge parents to motivate and support their children in seizing this opportunity.  The GOA Association scholarship program is designed to support students’ education and ease financial burdens. The scholarship program is expanding to include middle and high school students, in addition to post secondary students.

The following scholarships are available in 2025:

• Goan Overseas Association Vancouver Scholarship – $1000 (one available).
• Carnival Cultural Club Scholarship – $700 (one available). NB: This scholarship will not be offered after 2025.
• Music Scholarship – $400 (two available – middle and high school students).  Terms and conditions for this scholarship will be announced shortly.

Please review the Terms of Reference for scholarship eligibility criteria. Keep in mind that membership in the GOA Association is a key requirement.

Your support is vital to the success of this initiative, and we look forward to  strong community engagement!
