* Includes original Annual Scholarship Program as well as the BCIT New Media /Production Scholarship Program which commences in Year 2 (Yr. 2: $10,500 + $2,100 = $12,600).

 

** Originally proposed $15,000, then added $8,000 per year when asked to redirect from Production Award Statues. Therefore, Year 1 begins with $15,000 + $8,000 = $23,000.

*** Originally proposed $65,000 in 1st Year, but $8,000 (Production of Awards Statues) was disqualified and redirected to Beat Boot Camp. Therefore, Year 1 begins with $65,000 - $8,000 = $57,000.$2,000 (Design of Awards Statue) was allowed in Year 1 only and for the other 6 years the $2,000 was redirected to BCIT Scholarship. Therefore, for Year 2: $57,000 - $2,000 = $55,000.
Also for Year 2, calculate 5% increase: $55,000 x 105% = $57,750. Therefore, Year 2 begins with $55,750, total.
