BDC Capital to offer Kauffman scholarships for Canadian VCs

BDC Capital said it will provide scholarships for Canadian venture capitalists attending the Kauffman Fellows Program, with a focus on female professionals. BDC is offering up to two partial scholarships annually for the Silicon Valley program, which each year engages 35 to 50 venture capitalists from around the world in skills training and network building. To date, only seven Fellows are active in the Canadian industry. One of the scholarships is earmarked for a female professional and will be funded by BDC's Women in Technology Venture Fund. To be considered, applicants must apply to Kauffman Fellows by February 22nd.
