International Impact Award Vancouver(Tuition)

Award descriptionAwards ranging in value up to the full cost of the student's program and living costs are offered upon recommendation by the International Student Initiative to outstanding international students who demonstrate financial need. The value of each award will depend on the applicant's financial circumstances. The awards are made to students entering the University of British Columbia Vancouver campus directly from secondary school or from a post-secondary institution, to an undersubscribed undergraduate program of study. In addition to academic merit, priority is given to those exhibiting qualities such as leadership skills, involvement in student affairs or contribution to community service, first generation learners and those from diverse lived and socioeconomic backgrounds. Candidates must demonstrate prior commitment to, and interest in engaging further, via artistic expression or community engagement, social justice and equity, human wellness or conservation, sustainability and climate change. Consideration is restricted to students nominated by the educational institution they are attending. The awards will be renewed for up to three additional years of undergraduate study or to degree completion, whichever is less, provided the recipient maintains award standing in their program of study and maintains their status on a student authorization to study in Canada. Award winners will have their situations reviewed annually regarding both academic progress and financial need.
