About the University of British Columbia University Scholarship:
International students at UBC may apply for one of four types of competitive, merit- and need-based scholarships via the International Scholars Program:
Students from outside the United States who are applying for undergraduate study at American universities are encouraged to apply for the Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow Award if they have the academic prowess and leadership qualities to help others succeed.
The Donald A. Wehrung Foreign Student Award is given to an exceptional foreign undergraduate student from a low-income or war-torn country who has excelled academically despite extraordinary hardship and who, without substantial financial aid, would be unable to continue their education.
The International Impact Award is given to outstanding students who have shown leadership, dedication, and solutions in the areas of sustainability and climate change, natural resource conservation and management, social justice, equality, and inclusion, or societal health and wellness. First-generation students and those from marginalized communities are prioritized.
If you are an academically exceptional overseas student who does not yet match the English Language Admission Standard for direct admission to UBC, you may be eligible for the Vantage One Excellence Award, presented by UBC Vantage College.

Scholarship duration:
- UBC has an international scholarship program, and its worth depends on how much money you need. Tuition, fees, and living expenses are added together, and then your annual financial contribution is subtracted to arrive at your demonstrated financial need. Your family’s financial situation is the foundation of a conventional needs assessment.
- If you maintain a 3.0 GPA in your faculty, continue to show financial need, and keep your Canadian study permit (student visa) in good standing, your scholarship may be extended for up to three further years of undergraduate study, or until degree completion, whichever comes first.
Scholarship eligibility:
Qualifying to the International Scholars Program requires:
- You need to meet the requirements for an international student with a Canadian study permit.
- You must be joining UBC after graduating from an accredited high school or completing one year of study at another postsecondary institution.
- You must not have finished high school before June of the year before the one for which you are applying. Students applying for the Winter term of 2024, for instance, must not have graduated from high school before November 2022.
- You must be a high school graduate applying to your first year of college.
- You need to show that you are a top student by getting excellent grades (A+’s or above).
- To qualify, you must show that your economic situation prevents you from enrolling at UBC full-time.
- To be admitted to UBC, you must fulfill not just the English Language Admission Standard, but also the general and degree-specific criteria.
The Vantage One Excellence Award will be evaluated for those who:
- All prior requirements still apply, with the exception that you must not yet have an English proficiency level sufficient for direct admission to UBC.
- You need to be proficient in English to fulfill the Vantage College English standards and get admission to UBC’s Vantage College.
- You have to be a recent high school graduate to qualify.
- To be eligible for the UBC Vantage One Program, you must be a first-year student at UBC.
