The bill & maurice elias international achievement awards were established in 1999 as a way for the federal government to honour those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to international education.

Brock has been designated by bccei as an "entrance point" institution for this awards program. As such, we are eligible to apply directly for funding without having to go through a regional application process or rely on applications from other institutions within our region ( ontario ).
Brock University is thrilled about this development and looks forward with great anticipation to working closely with all faculty who wish to enhance their curriculums through the incorporation of Brock courses.
