A partnership between Teck Trail Operations and Selkirk College has created an annual fund to provide support for Selkirk College students to undertake a community-based research project in the West Kootenay Boundary Region. Building on the program’s success in recent years, we are happy to announce the Teck Serv Student Research Internship opportunity in 2018.

Â Applications may be submitted either individually or in partnership by completing the Teck Serv Funding Application form. The deadline to apply is 4 p.m. on March 29, 2018.
Up to $10,000 in student internship funding is available to conduct an applied research project that will support rural development at the community or regional level.
