The Denis Racine bursary is funded by the CPRS Vancouver Island Legacy Fund, and funds from the Racine family in honour of Denis Racine, a prominent figure in Victoria's public relations community.
The bursary will award a total of $1000 and each year at least one is given out.
To be eligible you must be:
A member of CPRS–VI in good standing (student or full membership)
Live on Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands
Registered in a communications-based post-secondary educational course
Enrolled in at least two courses
Considerations for selecting a recipient include length of time as a CPRS member, community involvement, volunteerism, academic excellence, and career objectives contributing to the field.
The successful recipient will be expected to write a thank you note to Denis Racine’s family as well as be invited to write a CPRS-VI blog post for future promotional purposes.
