Prior to Bill's death, BC Film approached the family to seek permission to establish and administer an annual scholarship fund in Bill's honour.  The family agreed enthusiastically .  The goal is to recognize Bill's lifetime achievements, his contribution to the growth of the BC film industry and his dedicated mentorship of emerging talent.  Although the details of the scholarship fund are not yet fleshed out, its overall goal will be to provide an opportunity for producers in British Columbia to expand their horizons and realize their goals.  It is anticipated that the first Bill Vince Memorial Scholarships(s) will be awarded in early 2009.  BC Film is pleased to confirm that it will match donations made towards this Scholarship Fund and administer The Bill Vince Memorial Scholarship on behalf of The William Vince Foundation.  Tax receipts will be issued by the William Vince Foundation.

 

Donations towards this Scholarship may be sent to "The William Vince Foundation" care of Debra Thomas, The Canada Trust Company, PO Box 10083, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1B6.  For a Donation Remittance Form, click here.
